The Greatest Overlooked Nutrient in Medicine

Vitamin K2 removes calcium from your arteries and other soft tissues and puts it into the bone where it belongs. In this video, we’re going to discuss the health benefits of vitamin K2 and how it can be used to clean your arteries, prevent heart attacks, and keep you healthy! Vitamin K2 deficiency can lead to soft tissue calcification, bone corrosion, osteoporosis, and cavities. You can get vitamin K2 from the diet, or you can make it from vitamin K1 in the gut. Natto (fermented soybeans) is the food with the most vitamin K2. Eel, goose liver, chicken liver, and beef liver also contain a significant amount of vitamin K2. Butter and cheese from grass-fed animals, salami, pork chops, and fermented vegetables contain small amounts of vitamin K2. Vitamin K2 can clean your arteries naturally, yet it’s found in fatty foods that we’ve been told to avoid! Because it’s a fat-soluble vitamin, you may have trouble absorbing it if you don’t have a gallbladder or you have a bad liver. You need plenty of healthy microbes to convert vitamin K1 to vitamin K2. B. subtilis is the primary microbe responsible for this conversion. Only 30% of the population has this microbe in their gut because it’s very easily destroyed when you consume broad-spectrum antibiotics. Without B. subtilis and vitamin K2 foods, you’re at risk for developing calcification in the arteries. Antibiotics, steroids, PPIs, antacids, glyphosate from GMO foods, alcohol, junk food, liver disease, high-sugar diets, and blood thinners destroy the gut’s ability to make vitamin K2. Low-fat diets can also put you at risk for a vitamin K2 deficiency. Vitamin K2 is dependent on magnesium. Together, magnesium and vitamin K2 can help clean your arteries and remove calcium deposits from your soft tissues. There are two kinds of vitamin K2: MK4 (synthetic) and MK7 (natural). Try taking 100 mcg of MK7 vitamin K2 for every 10,000 IU of vitamin D3.
