I do not know. I take this to help Calcium that I take (and that is floating around in my blood stream) to get into my bones.

Erm, are there any? I've searched through pubmed and can't find anything, in terms of k2 helping with cardiovascular health it stops calcium from depositing by working with it's confounder vit. d3(which tells the body to uptake calcium but not where to put it) and will increase heart vitality by stopping build up of calcium deposits. Vitamin K1 is involved with blood clotting but K2 has completely different functions and I haven't not seen literature involving plavix and k2 together, keep me updated, I guess.

Yes, I am going through the trials and tribulations of magnesium deficiency causing racing heart, anxiety, depression, sleeplessness, RLS and cramps in both legs (at the same time). I was checked for mag deficiency by doing the urine and serum blood test. My kidneys are excreting magnesium due to Type II Diabetes. In the process it has managed to give me kidney stones. Doing research I have learned that Vit K2 (m-7 specifically) is one of the "gatekeepers" for calcium, mag., vit D3 and probably many others. Vit K2 (m-7) is found in organ meats which most of us no longer eat as our ancestors did. It has promising research for Alzheimer's, dementia and Parkinson's. Magnesium glycinate has helped a lot, but am also going to try the threonate form in addition to this one. I also have polycystic ovary syndrome which eventually caused uterine cancer at age 51 and even though I have had a total hysterectomy the PCOS continues. I also have hypothyroidism which was misdiagnosed by an MD which in turn caused rapid weight gain the Type II diabetes...a domino effect. You should always get copies of your bloodwork, because MD's do make life threatening mistakes. Good Luck.

Vitamin K has multiple uses. K1, most commonly found in green leafy vegetables, can be used to treat deficiencies that result in blood not clotting. K2 helps your body absorb calcium better in order to treat or prevent osteoporosis. For the latter, it comes in two forms. The MK4 is a synthetic, but the MK7 is derived from Natto (fermented soybeans) and is better utilized by the body. NOTE: This formula cannot be used by anyone on Coumadin (warfarin) or other blood thinners. I used this formula when my regular source of K2 MK7 was not available.

Every two months is the best choice. You shouldn't take more than one per day, since vitamin K is a natural blood thinner. Also, if you regularly eat salad, greens, broccoli, and/or brussel sprouts, supplementing with just one of these a day is more than beneficial. It's also a good idea to pair this with vitamin D supplements, as the two combined are very bioavailable to the human body.

Yes it is. All vitamin K is removed. I researched this before I purchased it.

Mine lists....Vitamin D (as Vitamin D3) 1,000 IU; Vitamin K (as Vitamin K2< Menatetrenone) 200 mcg... Other Ingredients: Medium Chain Triglyceride Oil, Mixed Tocopherols. I don't see any indications of dairy. I am sensitive to dairy, and have taken this with no problems. Hope that might be helpful. ;)

Vitamin K is not a listed ingredient. There are many ingredients listed with names I do not recognize, but vit. K is not listed. It works well on bruises.

Vitamin K2 in the butter helps you make the most of the vitamin D in the cod liver oil. Not sure why they charge so much more.

The bottle lists the product as Vitamin K(as K2(Menatetrenone). I understand that Menatetrenone is the MK4 version. The K7 form has a different name. Hope this info helps.

Please note each person's body is unique and may interact with a dietary supplement in a different way. If you have any concerns about taking this product, be sure to consult with a healthcare professional who understands your unique chemistry and would be better suited to answer any medical questions. In some cases, Vitamin C, Niacin and Vitamin B-6 may act as blood thinner in extreme dosages (all ingredients in this formula are within acceptable ranges) and under certain conditions.

I would say check with his MD that put him on those meds to be sure, but it is just a vitamin.

I don't have this but I went to Nature Made's website. It contains 100 micrograms of vitamin K (K2 - mk7) and some fillers. No calcium.

Madison, our 13 year old dachshund, was diagnosed with an enlarged heart and murmur. His local vet immediately put him on Vetmedin & furosemide. For 3 years, we spend thousands of dollars on prescription meds. Last year, we took Madison to UF (University of Florida) Veterinary Hospital, for some dental work. The experts there told us that there was no need for the medications, as they do not prevent anything. They are only good as stabilizers, in end stage CHF. Instead, they recommended Vetri-Science Cardio Strength. We also included Vetri-Science Renal Essentials, to counteract any kidney damage, caused by the previously used RX meds. Madison is healthier and more active than he's been in years. I must stress the importance of careful dental hygiene and extensive examinations. By the time we got him to the hospital, he had abscesses boring into his sinus cavities; our local vet had only performed casual exams. Poor dental health is the leading cause of heart problems in dogs. Madison may only have 14 teeth (all on the bottom), however, he is now in good health and enjoying life to the fullest!

I don't work for Trusted Nutrients...but I think they both have calcium and potassium in them. I don't think it makes any difference in how it works. It is working for me. Besides you need both of those supplements in your daily diet.
