Hi,

since I still haven't figured out if vit D3 is okay for autoimmune diseases (I've seen mixed reviews) I was wondering: could be usuful to take vit K2 alone?

I'm interested mainly in soft-tissues and scalp decalcification and I've read that K2 could be useful. The rest of my stack is: magnesium citramate, fish oil, taurine, rhodiola. I'm considering adding MSM as well, since it has many presumed benefits for skin, energy, detoxing and it should help with decalcification.

Thanks!

I can't think of any reasons why it would be a bad idea to take K2 without D3.

 

Here's a summary of Dr Levy's decalcification program that might be of interest:

 

Vit C

-- regular form as tolerated

-- Lypo-C, 1 to 2 gr/day

-- Ascorbyl palmitate, 500 to 1000 mg/day

Lysine, 1000 to 2500 mg/day

Proline, 250 to 500 mg/day (2x more for known cardiac disease)

Vit D3, aim for 50 to 80 ng/cc

Vit K2, 3 to 6 mg/day

Mg glycinate, 200 to 400 mg/day

Omega-3 EFA, fish oil source, 2000 to 4000 mg/day

Vit E as mixed tocopherols, 400 IU twice/day

Beta carotene, 25000 to 50000 IU/day

Vit B complex, one/day

Check testosterone and supplement if needed

Check thyroid and supplement if needed

K2 is just fine on its own. The idea that it makes you hypocalcemic is just false. K2 will mitigate hypercalcemia by carboxylating certain proteins-but it doesn't actually chelate calcium or something.

I love it. Makes your skin supple, some great hormonal effects. And low risk. I've megadosed with zero side effects.

Thanks mate! It sounds awesome!
Do you advise MK-4 or MK-7? Which dosage? I really need something to moisturize and make my skin (especially scalp) supple, so
I will deffo try vit K! I didn't know that it has benefits on hormones too, does it boost testosterone or what?
Do you think that it would have any bad interaction with the rest of my stack, i. E. Taurine, magnesium, fish oil, vit C, rhodiola?

One last question: do you have any experience with NAC? I've read some rave reviews about it, it should also help with my mild OCD, monkey mind and racing THOUGHTS so I'd like to try it.

Thx A LOT!

Thanks a lot! Do you think that I could add also MSM to my stack, besides K2? I've seen that it could help with decalcification and skin issues (I have dry scaly skin).
Not directly related, but what's your take on NAC?

I take the LEF mix. Has k1 and both k2s. There are a number of k2 mixes out there but the LEF one seems just fine for me. Shouldn't be any interactions.

Re NAC, that's an entirely different ballgame. I have no experience with it but I do recall there are some risks. Search around here for some answers from people who know better than I on the subject.

LEF's product seems interesting, but isn't 1500 mcg of K1 too much daily? There is no risk for blood clotting?

 

Any experience with MSM?

 

Thanks!

Not at all. K has supports normal clotting and thinning as well. In Japan K2 is a drug for osteoporosis at 45 mg daily and it's very safe.

alright, thank you. Do you think that  K2 would have any bad interaction with the rest of my stack, i. e. taurine, magnesium, fish oil, vit C, rhodiola (and maybe NAC)?

Nope. Just avoid warfarin as it's a K antagonist drug. So no rat poison.
