I've been reading about recommended daily dosages for Vitamin K and this product seems to exceed the recommended dosage by quite a bit. Is it safe?

Go to LEF.org and do a little research. LEF make the highest quality supplements in the world based on CURRENT research studies.These dosages are the best for everyone UNLESS they are on blood thinners like Coumidin/Warfarin, in which case low dose K2mk7 45mcg is best.

I take this because I take 5000 IU's of Vit D3 per day and in order for the calcium in your blood to actually go into your bones, you need 100 mcg of MK7 K2 per 1000 IU's of D3. This is critical for men because calcium floating around in the arteries is really not a good thing... This element is essential for preventing osteoporosis so don't leave it out!

Most researchers and doctors who have studied K2 now recommend 180mcg per day. It is safe if you are over a little bit as toxicity is low. They also recommend taking D2, calcium and magnesium at the same, time as all of these work together with K2. A very good book about K2 is called "Vitamin K2: The Missing Nutrient for Heart and Bone Health" and can be found here: Vitamin K2: The Missing Nutrient for Heart and Bone Health

The suggestion is for one (1) serving per day. The Dr. told my husband he needed a 500 mg dose, based on a blood test result, so I would suggest you ask your doc what dose you should be taking.

K Free Daily was recommended by my Coumadin Clinic as they said this company is the most reputable and it's hard to find multivitamins without vitamin K in them. I know you can also purchase the bottle from their website www.kfreedaily.com. Hope this helps.

I am not sure what the Maximum safe dose means, maximum for whom? Personally, I have iron deficiency anemia and my physician has me take three of this dosage tablet a day. If you are concerned, please consult your physician. I think the most common problem of overdosage is for children.

I haven't heard of any side effects but more is not always better. It varies person to person but I would stick with the clinically proven 1600mg per day. Anymore than that and you're throwing money away.

I work in the nutrition field at BlackBoxUniversal.com and can say this... The Recommended levels of all water soluble vitamins and minerals is usually much lower than what you can safely take. Vitamin C for example, should be taken at much higher levels than recommended... 2000 mg a day, in my opinion. So in regard to Zinc and Mag, these are acceptable levels, especially since this is a supplement used for building muscle or to help eliminate anxiety.

I take one Vitamin K each day with Vitamin D3 and magnesium. My D3 was very low, when i got it tested and now i have been taking it for few month. My next blood test is in one month.

I would check with a pharmacist, there are known reactions with vitamins and other medications. please see someone as I don't know what you are taking.

I began using after a routine physical detected low calcium in my bones. Doctor prescribed 1500 mg CA per day. Since Nature Made had it in 750 mg tablets, I take 2 per day, which gives me my 1500 mg. The vitamin D helps the body better absorb the calcium. I've had no issues since I began. Can't really comment on the Vitamin K. Hope this helps.

Absolutely not. Everything in this product has great nutritional value, and is natural. Some of the things that are put in western medicines is what you should be concerned about. I've been taking Catalyn for years, as well as a few other Standard Process products.

As it says on the outside label, it's one mg per drop and there are 80 drops in the container. So, if you take a small dose, it lasts a long time, but if you are up to 5-15 mg 2 times a day it lasts only a short time. I think this is a good choice if you are just starting out with K4, but if you need higher doses, there are cheaper alternatives.

Oil soluble nutrients are usually recommended to be taken with food; water soluble nutrients are usually recommended to be taken with water; Vitamin K2-MK7 is an oil soluble nutrient; wherefore, it us usually recommended to be taken with food. However, I usually take it along with vitamin D3 and vitamin A and a swallow or two of soda water. I have been doing so for 4 years and I have had no difficulty with digestion of the nutrients at all. This product is in a dry form, which I prefer because I don't like taking supplements in oils (they add too much excess oils to the diet). If I was concerned I would probably eat an apple, orange or banana or drink a glass of juice with the vitamins.

10 billion cfu's a day may be the recommended dosage, I only can give you a review from my experience. Yes, I did take much more than the recommended dosage. This product worked when what the doctor prescribed did not work.

A is 3000IU, C is 60mg, D is 400IU, E is 30IU, B1 is 1.5 mg, B2 is 1.7mg, Niacin is 20mg, B6 is 2mg, Folic is 400mcg, B12 is 6mcg, Pantothenic is 10mg. All except A are 100% DV (used to be RDA) and all are good amounts except C which is laughably small for optimum health. If this is your only multi I recommend you add a 250mg or even 500mg C and between 500 to 1000mg calcium pill as well. These standards are for optimum health for a 'normal' adult in reasonably good health according to my diabetes educator. She says mega doses are not safe and these multi-vitamins along with a C and a calcium are all most people need. Hope this helps. Wind to thy Wings, Evie S.

I actually 2nd this question...because I use a multivitamin, and don't want to overdose on Vitamins A, D, or E which this supplement includes.

I take mine either way. It has not caused any problem either way. I take morning and night when I take prescriptions or vitamins. In the morning it is after food, but at night I take before supper. I place drops on a spoon and lick the spoon. I take 12 drops twice a day. Bottle lasts 25 days. Seems to give ma a little more energy after 2-3 weeks use. I also want to prevent liver damage, which my drugs are reported to possibly do.

I don't think I'm in a position to answer that, so you may want to check with your health care provider. However, I take another multi-vitamin/mineral supplement now called "Beyond Tangy Tangerine 2.0" and it has dosing on the label for children (which a lot of other multi's don't). "Beyond" is a much better product in my humble opinion. Look up @StayHealthyClub on Instagram! Good luck :)
