The 3rd vital supplement to add with K2 and D3 is magnesium 👍🏼

Indeed. I mentioned that in my D3 article, which you also might like....

Besides the general population being short of these 3 nutrients in particular,... Mg is a co-factor for the enzymes that metabolize D3.

Yes… this is why old guy surfers are so healthy … D3 and mag… every day- I’m prefer MK4 from animal sources (esp emu oil by mouth) than the MK7 beans/legume base. Natto can be ok but texture is gross & stinks- some people can’t handle even fermented soy (me !) 😊

You've read about the differences of Mk-4 and Mk-7 in my article, I hope?

You and I had similar health journeys. With the exception yours started very early and mine started very late. But we both dove into the deep end learning all we could. I was always healthy, until I was not. In one year's time I fell apart. Cancer, COPD, and an autoimmune arthritis. That's when my journey began a little more than ten years ago. And since we are both Cancer survivors, may I recommend reading these articles....

We are both quickly approaching an age when our immunity begins to drop off a cliff. We can use all the help we can. You probably already know this, but Iodine is important for breast health. More info in the links.

I like how you show coffee is healthy for us, in more ways than I care to think. LOL!

I’ve been a Weston A Price chapter leader for over 10 years, and teaching nutrition in the school district here for 15 years, I am 20 years cancer free, I am 65 years old and also healed myself from four autoimmune disorders. I do believe I understand and K7 and MK four and I still choose animal source basis. I also claim a lot of my healing from 03 which is also called medical ozone. I give colonics for a living for 22 years and I also am an adapt functional health coach. I’ve had my own business for 22 years since I have been well from cancer. I have zero health problems. I do o not approach my older years with any fear,,, trepidation about health. all the best to you.

Looks like I touched a nerve. My apologies. I am becoming more abrasive as the years go by. I'm a Irishman, it's in my blood. I have read your bio and your journey as you might have gathered. But you felt the need to rehash it anyway. And for that I apologize. I meant no ill will, was only looking to help. I do not fear the future either any longer. But it does help to know what's in store, and what can be helpful. And no one knows everything. I learn something new everyday. Being proactive has nothing to do with trepidation. Being proactive builds confidence. Returning cancers are a death sentence. And I am confident when my time is up, it won't be that taking me.

You do know Mk-7 is created by bacteria. Just like Mk-4. What's the difference if the bacteria is on soy beans or cheese? Other than the long-chain menaquinone produced? Bacteria are neither plants nor animals. Stay safe and be well.

Edit: I am mistaken. Mk-4 is not made from bacteria. They say it is unique among the menaquinones, being it is not produced by bacteria. See, I learn something new everyday...

"MK-4 is unique among the menaquinones in that it is not synthesized by bacteria. Instead, MK-4 is alkylated from menadione (vitamin K3), a synthetic form of vitamin K that is present in animal feeds, or is the product of tissue-specific conversion directly from dietary phylloquinone [K1], with menadione as the postulated intermediate." https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/british-journal-of-nutrition/article/role-of-menaquinones-vitamin-k2-in-human-health/5B9F317B526629D8BA77B6435F1E5509#

Mk-7 can also be converted to Mk-4, just by cleaving a bit of that long-chain off.
