Bulk K2 addendum

Math matters and I didn't check it closely enough for the bulksupplements powdered MK7 - it is mostly dicalcium phosphate....negating the benefits of the K2.

I bought a bag of the menaquinone 7 powder from BulkSupplements and in looking closer at the dosing and “inert” ingredient - dicalcium phosphate, I realized that the microgram dosing means you can’t get a large dose without getting an INCREDIBLY large dose of calcium and phosphorus and that would just make a calcification risk worse.

My mistake. Math matters.

I have contacted a different wholesale type company to see what inert ingredient their menaquinone product contains.

Addition - for clarity - I am sorry for making this mistake. I don’t think the BulkSupplement.com powdered vitamin K2 is useful for decalcification goals as the amount of calcium and phosphorus is so high - the ratio is too extreme.

I may try to return what I bought. I got a largish bag, not cheap, but I opened it. I will have to ask about returns. I have to consider the calcium/phosphorus load on acidity issues. It could make calcification and other symptoms worse.

Two grams of the Dicalciumphosphate/vit K2 powder would be giving ~ 460 mg of calcium, 455 mg of phosphorus and only 20 mg of vitamin K2 - so the 45 mg K2 Life Extension Mega vit K2 product would be better than that. Too much phosphorus is generally part of the body being over acidic and adds to the risk of demineralization of tooth enamel. ...I made a mistake in not reading more carefully initially. It had seemed like a great find. I was too excited.

Irony... or it is a diabolical plot? .... The very item that could help reduce calcification is being sold mixed with a gob of calcium and phosphorus. ARRRGH

Dicalcium phosphate is often used as a filler/non-caking agent. It was also the filler in a selenium product that I bought at the same time.

• I would recommend this product for now, until I find something better. Taking four of them per day would be close to 200 mg. Space it out, two in the am and two in the pm, as an example. I have qualms about the gelatin capsules as a potential source of glyphosate though. Eating natto soybeans might be a better idea if histamine excess problems aren’t present, making fermented foods a risk. Life Extension Mega Vitamin K2, 45 mg K2, (lifeextension.com//item02417/mega-vitamin-k2-high-potency-for-strong-bones).

• Life Extension Super Vitamin K has a couple grams of K but only 100 mcg of vitamin K2. (lifeextension.com//item02334/super-k)

I will follow-up with more about gut microbiome species that make vitamin K2 for us - without gut dysbiosis, lack of vitamin K2 is considered a non-issue. I will look into that angle more.
