Nutrigold Vitamin K2 MK7 Supplement, 120 Capsules, Bone and Heart Support, Non-GMO, Vegan, Kosher Vitamin K Supplement with MK-7 (Vitamin K2 MK-7)

This product is now recommended in a new nutrition book called It's Not the Cans: The Best Nutrient Balance for a Stronger and Healthier YouSupplemental MK-4 is synthetic and remains active in your blood serum for up to 8 hours.Supplemental MK-7 is natural and remains active in your blood serum for up to 72 hours (3 days).Calcium utilization is a four step process. Following steps 1, 2 and 3 (below) without step 4 (vitamin K2) will kill you over time.STEP 1: Consume calcium rich foods and drinks (try to keep supplemental calcium to 500 mg/day or less. The less the better)STEP 2: Obtain adequate amounts of Vitamin D (vitamin D enables you to absorb the calcium into your blood stream)STEP 3: Obtain adequate amounts of Magnesium (magnesium activates the vitamin D inside your system)STEP 4: Vitamin K2 activates the traffic cop Matrix Gla Protein (MGP) that removes calcium from your blood stream. It also activates the protein, Osteocalcin that binds calcium to your bone tissue.(These are the broad strokes as the process is a bit more complex and involves several other cofactors)Without STEP 4 (above) calcium you consume (especially supplements) deposits into the internal lining of your arteries over time which often results in cardiovascular disease and premature death.K2 is best taken with a meal that has healthy fat, such as (cage-free) eggs or salmon (yes eggs are not the killers we first thought), or a meal with good levels of protein such as chicken, steak, tuna, turkey, etc.As stated earlier, vitamin K2, in the forms of MK-4 and MK-7, prevents arterial calcification and can even reduce existing calcification by activating a protein called Matrix Gla Protein (MGP). MGP protects your internal, arterial lining from calcium deposits. Vitamin K2 also activates another protein, Osteocalcin. Osteocalcin is a protein that binds calcium to your bone tissue.You may wish to consider taking this product twice a day for the first week or so. Please consider that since it remains in your blood for three days. You don't need to mega-dose on this product. Just one softgel will add 100 mcg to the amount that is still in your system from yesterday and the day before. So after a week or two you will simply need to maintain the levels, not rebuild them from scratch.Taking two (or even three) a day won't hurt you but it is not needed after a week or two. I know it is hard for some people to resist taking extreme doses of vitamins. They fail to consider that too much of something is just as bad for you as too little. Overkill is not a good strategy. Balance is the key.

/My toddler who's enamel and teeth has been wearing away since 12 months of age, inspite of breastfeeding - even n/ow still on breastmilk. Put DH on this at around 22 months of age. Protocol that regenerated DH enamel:Puncture the mk7 gold capsule and give 4 drops per day at different times (forget the butter oil - it did nearly nothing for the price, i now use the leftover as base for the mk7).Make sure of iodine sufficiency (thyroid function important with this supplement).gluten free diet - suspected celiacno casein - highly sensitive to casein which severely disturbs digestive tract** see update bellow - Jarrow's Bone Up (i can no longer recommend this, as it caused us all copper toxicity and has resulted in worse situation) - open 4 capsules in 2 divided doses (trying to stay near 1000 mgs dietary calcium intake)** collagen hydrolysate - 1 tablespoon daily. Do not use this product, though I did not notice side effects from the hydrolysate, their gelatin was causing lead poisoning in my toddler (symptoms: Fanconi Syndrome). Thankfully only took it for a couple of days, and did not see much mental deterioration so far, but noticed that teeth was deteriorating slightly, aside from the fanconi syndrome. I am using kyolitic garlic to help detox, which I do not know how effective it is yet.optional?:hemp milk for base drink with coconut oil - great amino acid profile and healing seedSquigle Tooth Builder Sensitive Toothpasteon fermented cod liver oil since before tooth problems (maybe you can replace with fish oil vitamin a and vitamin d)Update 9/10/2014 - I can no longer recommend jarrow's bone up (the calcium by Stimucal is THE best form of mcha - I have tried several, but that's it). The copper in this supplement contributed greatly to all members taking the supplement ending up with copper intoxication, including adults. Our diets were high in copper to begin with. This also lead to worse teeth condition than at the beginning - very scary. Put my toddler back on dairy (lifeway yogurt plus lactose) with additives to help with digestion (vital whey protein and currently using papaya or it's enzyme supplement and it seems to be doing wonders so far), and teeth improved further than ever. Continue to use mk7, a must. BTW hemp hearts and milk is the best source of magnesium, and globular proteins in hemp also helps with digestion of milk.

I was using Solgar and switched to Nutrigold today. I thought I needed a root canal but after taking the K2 my tooth was just fine, no more pain and swelling. Thank God I don't have to go to a dentist. K2 might just put an end to so many dental visits wouldn't that be great? It stopped my night sweating completely and cleared up a rash I had on my face, chest and upper arms. I would take Solgar or Nutrigold as long as these awful symptoms do not return. I took about 10 Solgar K2 in the evening and before bed. Five caps about 9:00 PM and five before bed. Sometimes I popped some extra when my tooth hurt and it took the pain away immediately. The tooth has stopped hurting in between taking the caps so I must be absorbing the K2. I do not take D as it makes me tired and caused me to have Bursitis in my shoulder at one time as the D was causing too much calcium to be absorbed in my joints. It was horrible.I also do not take calcium supplements I just take Magnesium Glu. Too often calcium deposits are misdiagnosed as breast cancer or tumors after a mammogram so I get enough calcium from my diet and Vitamin D and A from organic butter, sunshine and pumpkin seed caps. So many women have heart attacks because of calcium supplements instead they should be taking magnesium gluc. Easy on the digestion stops bed wetting for kids and keeps them calm. I took about 4 Nutrigold K2 a few hours ago and no problem with that tooth. Thanks amazon Update My tooth just blew up. The pain was beyond belief. I had to take 6 Solgar K2 to stop the pain. I guess I cannot absorb Nutrigold K2, so I will stick with Solgar K2. I bought into the organic aspect but Nutrigold just does not work for me one little bit. I am afraid the night sweats will return and I am not going through that again. Good luck,everyone.
