I'm not an expert on what type of K2 is good, how is that? It's MK-7, is that better or worse than MK-4?

 

[GarixTheChad]

Use k2 mk4 only

Does not even need to be supplemented.

Not really a point in supplementing

I'll try to add those in my diet a tad more.

But supplementing can't hurt, no?

sounds good. I just bought some d3 and I already had a little k2 mk4 anyway. I'll keep supplementing just to get the bare neccessities

I am sorry but this is simply not true. If somebody is supplementing vitamin d, especially in high dosages (actually 2000iu are already classed as high dose) it is advised to also supplement K2, else you will become deficient. You are risking reversal of the positive outcomes from vitamin d supplementation in deficient people: increased integration of calcium in the bones (osteoporosis) and reduction of plaques in blood vessels (arteriosclerosis)

@personalityinkwell make sure to take the vitamin d supplements with some fatty foods, else absorption is not as good
Also if you are deficient you might want to consider starting with higher dosages (10k,20k) and then slowly taper these down as your levels rise. Keep in mind if you were to be outside in the sun you could easily absorb 20k per day. The reason why people often fearmonger in regards to high dose protocols is because in most studies people were only administered vitamin d, without k2 or magnesium (which is not as necessary as k2).

You are confusing phylloquinone (K1) and menaquinone (K2). The foods you listed were high in K1, but not in K2. They are not exchangeable because K1 has bad bioavailability compared to K2: https://academic.oup.com/jn/article/134/11/3100/4688389

Up to 97% of western populations have a deficiency or insufficiency of K2

Circulating uncarboxylated matrix gla protein is associated with vitamin K nutritional status, but not coronary artery calcium, in older adults - PubMed

Matrix Gla protein (MGP) is a calcification inhibitor in vascular tissue that must be carboxylated by vitamin K to function. Evidence suggests circulating uncarboxylated MGP (ucMGP) is elevated in persons with disease characterized by vascular calcification. The primary purpose of this study was...

Legumes, vegtables, fruits, lean meats, seafood, whole grains and nuts are all virtually free of K2. If you are not regularly eating fermentated foods or animal organs, because Vitamin K is not stored as long as other fat-solubles, you are more likely to be K2 deficient.
