Do not take it if you are on blood thinner like cumadin or warfarrin, and check with your liver doctor, but I think this is an important vitamin.
Avatar n tn I was very sick when I wrote my last comments. I was dealing with vitamin K2 MK-7 toxicity and vitamin K2-MK-7 induced liver and kidney damage. I was not really ready to share certain things. MK-7 is now out of my system, so I feel somewhat better. I have had liver disease for 12 years. It started with liver pain problems, but over the years, I made some serious dietary supplement mistakes, so I now have severe liver disease (and I now also have kidney disease).

Avatar m tn You MUST take 1,000 mg of Vitamin K2 for every 10,000 IU of Vitamin D3. It is absolutely crucial that K2 is taken with high doses of Vitamin D3, becuase K2 prevents calcium from going into your soft tissue, and redirects it into your bones where it belongs. It is highly likely that you have a Vitamin D deficiency. Check with a doctor. It is unlikely that your poor vision is associated with the hair loss.
