Has anyone seen a reduction in their CAC score from taking vitamin K2?

Posted by hikerguy62 @hikerguy62, Mar 31, 2023

I was told earlier this week that my CAC score is 2534. I considered myself to be a very healthy 60 year old male. I've never drank or smoked, always maintained my weight right around 155 lbs. (at 5'7"), hiked all my life (and still hike, but not as much or as far). I ate primarily chicken, pork and salmon the last 8-10 years (VERY rarely red meat) and no family history of heart disease except an uncle who had a heart attack (and was a heavy smoker until that wake-up call) and my dad who passed away from a heart attack at 84. So to say I was shocked when my doctor called and told me the score is a big understatement.

I've been doing a LOT of research on CAC scores since I got my results this past Tuesday. It's been a roller coaster of emotion because one article gives you hope, then another takes you back down lol

I've started on K2 (in addition to the D3 I started about 3 weeks ago).

I'd love to hear from anyone who's been on K2 (and especially the MK-7 "variety" of K2) who has seen improvement in their score.

Thanks!

with such a low CAC score you must be doing something right. What is your bloodwork numbers age exercise etc?

I’m 67 years old. Cholesterol numbers aren’t really good, ldl 130, hdl 55, triglycerides 80. I don’t exercise nearly as much as I should, maybe a couple hours every other week. I eat fairly well, lean meats, both poultry and beef (primarily filet), and salmon. Plenty of fruit and veggies. I also take urolithin A, veggies & fruits supplements, K2, DS-01 Seed, and a few other vitamins. I’m going to go back to the medical imaging facility and grab those results again, to ensure I’m passing accurate numbers.
