- raverbashing 7y agoI believe Vit K deficiency is less common than Vit D deficiency
- BruceEel 7y agoYep. K2 MK7 specifically. Cheese (most) and natto are good dietary sources of K2. The better D3 supps are formulated with an optimal D3 to K2 ratio.
- amelius 7y agoThere's also a connection with magnesium. https://www.livescience.com/61866-magnesium-vitamin-d.html https://www.livescience.com/61866-magnesium-vitamin-d.html

- JulianMorrison 7y agoWhen you get a blood clot, Warfarin that they give you for it is literally a vitamin K blocker.
- legerdemain 7y agoWarfarin is also literally used as rat poison, with the same mechanism of action.
- mmastrac 7y ago"The dose makes the poison." Botox is a pretty powerful tool for doctors when applied locally in small quantities, but often fatal in Botulism. Water is necessary for life, but hyponatremia is a real thing.
- cko 7y agoTo my understanding, not if you don't take warfarin. There's no upper limit of vitamin K intake for healthy people.
