@lizzie73 Maybe I am reading the Osteo K Minis bottle wrong, but a serving is 2 capsules, twice daily. Each 2 capsules is 22.5 MG so you are taking two doses of 22.5 mg to get 45 mg and not the three 15 mg doses that you reference above. I am surprised Osteo K does not have a dosing that would equal three 15mg doses for the day to match the Japanese study.

@loplady You are correct. On Amazon, the label for Osteo-K does show two servings per day, each at 22,500 mcg for a total daily dose of 45,000mcg.
Price wise, the Osteo K supplements are very expensive. A months supply costs $65.95. By comparison, the brand Life Extension Mega Vitamin K has one capsule a day of 45,000 mcg Vitamin K MK-4 priced at $24.03. So buying a supplement with split dosing costs more than twice as much.
I read an article that says it's not necessary to split the dosing of MK-4: "MK4's serum half-life is roughly two hours — and that rapid disappearance from blood isn't a weakness. It's the opposite. Your body pulls MK4 straight into the brain, bone, kidney, pancreas, and reproductive organs. What leaves the bloodstream fastest may be doing the most work. If a nutrient's invisible in a blood draw, it's often because it already reached where it needs to be."
