We explored whether vitamin K2, a form of vitamin K, could help in managing high cholesterol and atherosclerosis in rabbits with elevated cholesterol levels.
Over a span of ten weeks, we administered different doses of vitamin K2 to rabbits fed a cholesterol-rich diet.
The findings were encouraging; the vitamin K2-treated rabbits had significantly lower cholesterol levels compared to a control group.
Additionally, it seems that vitamin K2 at moderate doses helped slow down the development of atherosclerosis without any adverse effects on blood coagulation.

Nutraceuticals ineffective for cholesterol
We conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to see if a nutraceutical combination including vitamin K could improve cholesterol and inflammation in 118 individuals with high cholesterol.
After 6 and 12 weeks, we found that this combination didn't significantly lower total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, or triglycerides. It also had no impact on various inflammatory biomarkers.
Our findings indicate that, at the doses used, the nutraceutical combination did not effectively change cholesterol or inflammatory markers.

Vitamin K impacts cholesterol relationship
We examined whether a dietary supplement containing Octacosanol and vitamin K2 could help regulate cholesterol levels for those taking atorvastatin. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with 87 participants over 13 weeks, we didn't see any major changes in overall cholesterol or PCSK9 levels.
However, we found that the relationship between the changes in PCSK9 and LDL cholesterol normalized in participants taking the supplement. This suggests that while cholesterol levels remained steady, the supplement might help improve how these two important factors relate to each other in the context of statin therapy.

Reduces cholesterol levels

Exactly what is needed! Vitamin K2 (MK-7) does not thicken the blood, unlike other forms of K. When taken regularly with vitamin D3, it helps "flush" calcium from vessels into bones, reducing vascular calcification and osteoporosis. High doses of MK-7 help lower circulating cholesterol levels and inhibit atherosclerosis progression. The packaging is undamaged, and the dosage of 100 mcg is optimal, plus the capsules are small.

Helps cholesterol management

This K2 (MK-7) works well with vitamin D3 for my mother, who is very pleased. MK-7 prevents blood clotting as it activates proteins for the coagulation system without thickening blood. It also aids in lowering cholesterol levels. The 100 mcg dosage is ideal, and the packaging is in perfect condition.

I initially took this vitamin to ensure proper calcium and magnesium absorption. Surprisingly, after two weeks, I noticed my blood pressure decreased, remaining consistently lower than before. I’ve ordered more packages due to the positive effects.

Aids calcium absorption

Vitamin K2 is crucial alongside vitamin D for absorption, assisting the body more promptly than vitamin D alone. It ensures calcium reaches the bones effectively and helps with high cholesterol. The dosage is high, but still manageable. I have been taking it for four months.

Supports cholesterol absorption
210 people found this helpful
MenaQ7 K2 is very digestible. Typically, K2 deficiency is rare, but while taking high doses of D3, I've learned that I need 100 mcg of K2 for every 5000 IU of D3 for optimal calcium distribution. K2 MK7 supports bone health and cardiovascular systems, especially when consuming high D3 doses. It’s best taken with breakfast.

This bioavailable form of K2, MK7, is crucial for calcium absorption and strengthening bones. It’s particularly important to take K2 MK7 with high doses of D3, as they require dietary fats for the best absorption. It should be consumed during breakfast.
