Hi all,

An aspirin a day keeps the K2 away!

I Betcha' your Heart doctor or Doctor never told you about Aspirins or Antibiotics !

Blood clotting (coagulation) studies in humans using 45 mg per day of vitamin K2 (as MK4)[25] and even up to 135 mg/day (45 mg three times daily) of K2 (as MK4),[50] showed no increase in blood clot risk. Even doses in rats as high as 250 mg/kg body weight did not alter the tendency for blood-clot formation to occur.[51]

Deficiency - osteoporosis [1][2] and coronary heart disease[3] [4]are strongly associated with lower levels of K2 (Menaquinone). Menaquinone is not inhibited by salicylates as happens with K1, so Menaquinone supplimentation can alleviate the chronic vitamin K deficiency caused by long term aspirin use.

Taking broad-spectrum Antibiotics can reduce vitamin K production in the gut by nearly 74% in people compared with those not taking these Antibiotics .
