I take K2 for sore feet and dry eyes/mouth
I am not a doctor. No doctor every told me about K2 without my bringing it up first. I wore orthotics for 10 years. I had my sore achilles tendons stabbed with needles. Had any doctor put me on K2, I would not have needed to do either. I have been taking Life Extension brand vitamins K & K2 (from a white opaque bottle) for a few years now. I take the blend instead of just K2 because my guts don't like to absorb nutrients. When not taking this, my usual brand, for any reason, I take only K2, so I know what effects it has. K2 completely reversed my 10 years of plantar fasciitis within 3 months. It was about 85% better after a week. My dry mouth and dry eyes are not so dry with K2. I was able to avoid going on restasis because of it. Used with vitamin D, it fixed my hand clumsiness, systemic tendinitis, helped my skin heal cuts normally, and dramatically improved/ removed livid stretch marks and scars. I almost never need chapstick anymore. I can kneel without pain again. K2 has fixed a weird variety of my problems because it's a cofactor for vitamin D which bodies use all over. (While K2 does help when my knuckles feel stiff, which they do if I stop taking it for 5-6 weeks, it does not help my stiff hip joints. I take hyaluronic acid for that.) Again, I am not a doctor but if your skin, tendons, or bones are not healing right, or if your mouth &/or eyes are dry, & you take one of these daily with some vitamin D, you will know within a week if it will help you. If you don't have improvement in a week, and are not low on D3, then this is probably not what you need. I do not know if K2 helps with weird tendons due to EDS or dryness from Sjögren's syndrome
