Careful with this I took vitamin d every day no problem for a year. Randomly started getting heart palpitations one week and was trying to figure out why. Got an Apple Watch to monitor for a fib. Was asking myself what changed in my life that it happened all of a sudden and realized I had started taking K2. ChatGPTs theory is that it really made the absorption of vit d effective and led to hypercalcemia.
Stopped taking vit d and k2 it resolved after a week no problems almost a year later.
- gbear605 10mo agoYou’re warning people to be cautious of taking Vitamin D… because you had problems with potassium supplements? Those are entirely different things with entirely different risk profiles.
- Rebelgecko 10mo agoK2 is synthetic cannabinoid inspired by THC
- SeanAnderson 10mo agoI mean, you're not wrong, but that's not what the discussion is about. There's Vitamin K1 and Vitamin K2. Vitamin K2 is frequently taken alongside Vitamin D.
- candiddevmike 10mo agoK2 isn't a potassium supplement
- candiddevmike 10mo agoIt should be the opposite, not taking K2 leads to calcification as K2 helps your body absorb calcium instead of lingering in your circulatory system.
- boston_clone 10mo agowell that would imply that these LLMs could be wrong and they should talk to a doctor instead - lunacy!
- nrhrjrjrjtntbt 10mo agoAnyone reading any of this ignore it all and see a doctor/cardiologist/emergency if concerned.
- mentos 10mo agoYea actually it was a while ago I think ChatGPT actually pointed out I was low on magnesium from vit d + k2 requiring/depleting more than usual leading to the palpitations. Biggest takeaway is it’s easy to hit toxic levels when taking supplements so be careful.
- boston_clone 10mo agopeople should actually be more careful about taking medical advice from an LLM than grabbing a vitamin D supplement.
