Vitamins D and K2

Any update on the vitamin k2 to D ratio? And now a lot of people are talking about different forms of k2… and I don’t know where to start!

Hello Dr❤

WHAT BRAND OF VITAMIN D3 SHOULD I BUY??? NO ONE EVER TALKS ABOUT WHICH ONE TO BUY

Thank you fr your information :-)

Calcification...
Oxalates - - -

my mom was on dialysis for 13 years and it’s a requirement for them to get a high dose of vitamin d when they’re cleaning their blood during treatment. she never got sick. i was always the one sick and yet she never experienced extreme symptoms outside of some congestion

Injections are more effective as far as absorbtion is concerned.

Important to ensure vitamins are not synthetic.....how do we know?

Something worth mentioning: the combination of these two vitamins significantly reduces blood glucose levels. I’ve been taking these vitamins for an extended amount of time without problems (I have an history of low vitamin D and very high triglycerides, so this combination sounded like a win-win.) I recently began following the Trim Healthy Mama eating plan. The plan includes energizing meals (high healthy carbs and low fat) OR satisfying meals (low carb and higher healthy fats) or a combination of the two for people who don’t have weight loss as a goal. This plan also helps to regulate blood sugar. Within a week or so of the combined vitamins AND diet change, I started having low blood sugar problems. I guess as long as I was eating less healthily, it wasn’t so low. It’s gone as low as 54 and two hours after eating drops low again. I almost passed out at the store because my meal just wouldn’t sustain my sugar. I’ve decided to sop the D3 and K2 until my doctor can help me come up with a plan.

When you talk about vitamin d... Is it just d or d3 that's required?

Vitamins D and K2 play essential roles in supporting bone and cardiovascular health. Vitamin D helps with calcium absorption in the gut, promoting strong bones and aiding immune function. However, without Vitamin K2, this absorbed calcium may not reach bones effectively and could accumulate in arteries, increasing cardiovascular risks. Vitamin K2 directs calcium to the bones and teeth, preventing it from settling in blood vessels. These vitamins work synergistically: Vitamin D increases calcium levels, while K2 ensures proper distribution. Together, they support balanced calcium management, reducing risks of osteoporosis and arterial stiffness and promoting overall health.

Also look at magnesium deficiency. most people are deficient in magnesium. The best one is Magnesium L-Threonate (Magtein).

So many conflicting medical opinions is confusing. How can the lay-person decide? It's the same thing with diet. It was high fruit and vegetables, low fat, low animal products, but carbohydrates were fine. Now it's high animal products, low carbohydrates, no grains and limited fruit and vegetables. The microbiome demands 32 assorted plants and seeds per week, yet that is opposite to what the irritable bowel sufferers are told to eat i.e. low FODMAP diet.

They sell vitamin K2 supplements that have vitamin D3 included also, and there are Vitamin K2 supplements that have both vitamin K2 as Menaquinone-4 and.Menaquinone-7 fractions included. On the big a site can find many varieties.

Thank you John for sharing.

can you take Vit K2 if your on blood thinners?

Is K2 MK7 safe for cancer patients on chemo?

Have you seen this YT video? I do not know if it is genuine or what but I worry that you are recommending and taking such high doses of vitamin D. >>> Redditor takes 10000IU Vitamin D for years. This happened to his bones...

Is it safe to take K2 with D3?

400 a day, I understand is a figure arrived at early 20c as sufficient to prevent rickets.
I take a 20,000 combined K2 pill a day.

I was just told i have calcium build up in my heart arteries. Now I’m scared what do i do ?

Dr John, what brand of vitamin D3 K2 are you taking? there is so much that i get confused. Some are every expensive so I just want to make sure I buy the effective one. Thank you.

What should I do if I can't take K2 because of being on antiquagulants as I need to take Vitamin D3? If taking vitamin D3 without vitamin K2 causes calcification in the artiries it is really a great issue.I will appreciate if I can get an answer for this question as for my search I could'nt find any information about this which is a concern for everybody who is on antiquagulants.

So vitamin K2 mk4 is better then mk7?

Dr John has a more up to date video on D3 & k2
. You could do with removing this one @DrJohnCampbell

I take 2000iu of vitamin D3 +K2 as a maintenance dose when my shadow is longer than me at mid day, usually around late October when the sun is lower in the sky until my shadow is not longer than me, prob mid/late spring. It’s always a good idea to take it if you spend a lot of time indoors like an office job. Also it’s important to take vit D with fat as it is fat absorbable, it needs fat to be absorbed. Sauerkraut is made with salt, the salt starts the fermenting process. Kefir milk is a fermented milk and is jam packed with good bacteria and vit K2, don’t buy shop bought stuff as they can be devoid of the good bacteria. Make your own from full fat organic milk or raw milk and buy the kefir ‘grains’ to add to the milk, they are reusable and are like yeast a growing organism that feeds off the natural milk sugar called lactose and will multiply, when you have too many give them away or put them on your compost heap. It wouldn’t hurt if you ate some by accident. So lactose intolerant people can drink kefir.

Hi Dr Campbell, I went to my doctor yesterday and she found that I had a heart murmur. I told her that I am taking vitamin 10,000 iu of D3, and 100 mgs of k2. Now she said that I should think about stopping the k2 because it could make the murmur worse . Now I am 73 years old, and feel like I am in good health. I just want to know what you think about this
I am asking you because you have done a lot of research on this subject. I am looking for a second opinion.
Thank you Dr Campbell

I heard that cancer can not live in a body high in vitamin D. Is this true. Thank You.

Thank you Dr Campbell for all your most valuable information. You are such an asset to this world. ❤

Excellent video! Thank you Dr. J. Thank you!! Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦!!

what about people equating colecalciferol with rat poison (apparently is the same chemical.

Chronic low-level vitamin D is associated with a lot of dental bone infections

Dr Campbell, I started taking vitamin D3 and K2, because my most recent bone density imaging showed I’m borderline osteopenia osteoporosis. I didn’t like a Prolia medicine tablet which gave me body aches, only took one and stopped. Asked my primary physician what other options I had, he said same med in injection, but would have same side effects. And the co-payment was quite high. Praying this vitamin combination and increasing my intake of calcium rich foods would halt the bone loss. My labs have shown I have a good level of vitamin D, this was just before adding the K2.

Thank you John. But why do you say"Ask your doctor"? Thy spend 15 minutes on nutrition.

We were called limeys because sailors ate them to stop scurvy, I heard some other navy's ate sourcrout and the sailors weren't keen so they made the officers eat it and the sailors felt left out and because officers ate it they did, but scurvy is vit C deficiency.

I take 2000 UI D3 and 100mcg K2 .Can I take coq10 (Ubiquinol) 100mcg together to help my heart ?

American Doctor Janine Bowring ND, suggested taking Vit D in the Morning and Vit K in the evening before bed, Instead of together in one supplement, as she thinks it could damage the arteries if taken at the same time.

K2 (mk4) seems like a very safe vitamin to supplement with no known upper tolerable limit. Multiple mg a day has been tested as perfectly safe despite how massively over the requirements that is. Almost like a water soluble vitamin in that way

Enjoy your videos but you did make me laugh when you got your jar of sauerkraut out.

Hola he escuchado de usted y cosas muy interesantes por favor traduzca sus video para ayudar a la gente Latina por favor-

My blood results have shown my vitamin D levels are 191 nmol/L (76.4 ng/mL).
I have been taking 4000iUs of D3, then upped to 8000iUs, for a good 9 months. I have taken 100mcg of K2 and magnesium citrate (200-400mg). These have all been the Solgar range. My GP has said that my D levels are in the toxic range. I have consumed mixed nuts or good fats whilst taking these. My serum calcium is 2.28 mmol/L.

I live in the UK and am 60 yrs of age.

I have not had any respiratory illnesses over the winter months. (I would usually have several)

I'm about 60 kgs in weight - 5 feet 6.5 height

I take vitamin D3 20,000 I.U. daily with 200 mcg K2, magnesium, zinc, cod liver oil and black seed oil 🤢 (as recommended) I’m melanated and while I wish I could get more sunlight, it’s not always possible living in Canada, so increase levels of vitamin D3 are my way of making sure I get adequate amounts. I’m also battling pre diabetes and Cystic Fibrosis. Strangely enough it seems to have helped with the incontinence I developed as a result of coughing from the Cystic Fibrosis.

For myself - a 58 yr old woman who had ovary removed in 2020; menopause and life long anxiety/depression.. so I now take (Dr Berg brand 20,000 IUs D3+ k2);, magnesium, Standard Process brand Zinc, Cataplex B Core, Multizyme, Pancreatrophin and a Himalaya brand menopause Care supplement . I am so very energized and happy! Twice I have lowered my D3 and frustration and sadness return; twice I decreased some others and similar sadness. I believe start HIGHER doses (I did) then stay a while THEN try lowering ONE at a time; you’ll see if you feel same or worse. stay in touch w a good health care provider such as Naturopath. Dr CAMPBELL is RIGHT— we are ALL LEARNING! PRAY 🙏 and give thanks, BUT GOD has awaken me to real health! So grateful!

Dear Doctor John, is Vitamin K2 necessary for individuals maintaining a dose of 4000 iu D3 daily and not exceeding that on a daily basis?
