It is my understanding that vitamin K2 should be taken with vitamin D in order to mitigate calcium overload. I do not know what the appropriate dosages between the two are, however, and I just pop one with the other every other day.

- devaboone 6y agoVitamin K2 is definitely an essential vitamin for bone health and calcium regulation, but it won't counteract high dose Vitamin D. If you are on so much Vitamin D that your calcium is elevated (meaning, you are at a toxic dose of Vitamin D), Vitamin K2 is not going to help. The best thing to do is actually check your Vitamin D levels if you are planning on staying on high dose Vitamin D.
