Today Dr. Pradip Jamnadas shares the talk on Vitamin K2. He goes into detail the amazing benefits of and what foods have Vitamin K2, and how Vitamin D is linked to vitamin K2 as well, in the video published on Dec 24, 2022, by Dr. Pradip Jamnadas, MD, as “Vitamin K2: The Surprising Benefits From Your Heart to Your Bones“, below:
Latest on Vitamin D https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng18… Basically, consider 400 units (10 mcg) per day But, NHS mid Essex https://midessexccg.nhs.uk/medicines-… Routine screening of vitamin D levels and prescribing of Vitamin D is not advisable. Both clinical symptoms and risk factors must be present before measuring Vitamin D levels (25OHD). As yet there is no clear evidence to prove the risks from non-symptomatic Vitamin D deficiency. Adults Vitamin D levels less than 30nmol/L (12ng / ml) Oral capsules, 40,000 units (1,000 mcg or 1 mg) colecalciferol weekly for 7 weeks (400 units per day = 2,800 units per week) Vitamin D levels 30 – 50 nmol/L (12 – 20 ng / ml) Buy your own, 400 units per day Vitamin D levels more than 50 nmol/L (20 ng / ml) Buy your own, consider, 400 units per day Vitamin K1 Phylloquinone Involved in blood coagulation (1929) Found in plant foods like leafy greens Vitamin K2 https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Vit… https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/… Menaquinones Mostly bacterial origin Animal-based and fermented foods Adult vitamin K Adequate Intakes, 90 -120 mcg Fermented foods Sauerkraut Natto High fat dairy from grass fed cows Eggs Animal organs Gut bacteria Antibiotics Vitamin K might play a role, osteoporosis and coronary heart disease Vitamin K-dependent proteins https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22516… Vitamin K2 supplements may improve bone and heart health, while vitamin K1 has no significant benefits https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti… Promotes bone calcification Three-year low-dose menaquinone-7 supplementation helps decrease bone loss in healthy postmenopausal women https://link.springer.com/article/10….

(most subjects presented hypercalcemia at serum concentrations of 25-OH-vitamin D less than 375 nmol/L, 150 ng / ml) In 15 subjects, hypercalcemia could be directly attributed to vitamin D In no case, serum calcium achieved concentrations considered as critical values (more than13 mg/dl). Conclusion Hypercalcemia due to vitamin D represented less than 4% of the total hypervitaminosis D detected Less than 0.1% of the tests performed. Healthline https://www.healthline.com/health/foo… No strong evidence proves that moderate amounts of vitamin D are harmful without an adequate intake of vitamin K. However, research is ongoing, and the picture might become clearer in the near future, in the video published on March 4, 2021, by Dr. John Campbell, as “Vitamins D and K2“, below:

How To Make Natto, most concentrated Vitamin K2 rich food, below:
Meet Ann Yonetani, the founder/owner and microbiologist behind NYrture New York Natto, an artisanal Japanese natto maker located in Brooklyn, NY. If there’s one thing that gets Ann excited, it’s bacteria. Ask her about it and her face lights up, she adjusts her glasses, her body settles more comfortably in her chair. She could talk for hours about the microbial worlds that symbiotically live inside us and all around us, a passion that both challenges and fascinates her. Not surprisingly, Ann sees herself as a bacteria farmer more than a natto maker (a distinction I find endlessly charming). By cultivating a healthy environment for growing good bacteria, her soybeans actively ferment into the superfood Japanese call: natto. A food jam-packed with nutrients and health/wellness benefits. This is where her evangelism begins. To Ann’s knowledge, only 3-4 small companies make natto in America, a very tiny market compared to Japan where natto is ubiquitous. Walk into any supermarket or corner store in Japan, you’ll easily find over a dozen options for natto. It’s a savory morning ritual there, traditionally eaten over warm rice often mixed with soy sauce or a raw egg and scallions. “A power breakfast food,” Ann explains “their version of a protein shake or acai bowl.” But unfortunately, in America, natto has little exposure. It hasn’t reached the popularity of Japanese ramen or sushi. Ann wants to change that, in the video published on Sep 12, 2018, by food.curated, as “Making the Stinky, Sticky, Slimy Beloved Superfood of Japan: NYrture Natto |food, curated.” below:
Making natto at home is a great way to get your vitamin K2 and all it’s health benefits, in the video publishsed on Dec 27, 2018, by Pete B: East Texas Homesteading, as “Homemade Natto – Getting your vitamin K2“, below:

Watch us make natto out of chickpeas! Natto is a traditional Japanese dish made from soybeans that have been fermented with a type of bacteria called Bacillus subtilis. Natto is very high in vitamin K2, a nutrient that is super important for prevention of cardiovascular disease, as well as good bone and immune system health. If you are trying to avoid soy, this video is for you! In the video published on Feb 7, 2020, by Ancestral Evolution, as “How to Make Chickpea Natto (Soy-Free)“, below
