Vitamin K: High Doses of MK-4 and MK-7 Show Promising Results

@singingbones I haven't found any MK-4 supplements in a 15 mg dose. I did find one that has two tablets equalling 45mg but it also has 1000IU vitamin D and my daily vitamin already contains that amount of D.
I did find this article that says: "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. https://threearrowsnutra.com/blogs/ironwarrior/mk4-vs-mk7

@daisy17 - meant to add that the AOR MK4 is formulated for the 15 mg dose - can be taken 3x day. Pricey for sure. Interesting read on the link you sent. Thank you!
@daisy17 My naturopath recommended SFI (formerly Klaire Labs) Ultra K2 Menaquinone-4. Monthly supply in 3 x 15 mg doses. I get it from Pure Formulas.
There is also a liquid high quality form of MK-4 and a combo MK-4 & MK-7 available from Health Natura. I may switch to the combo at some point.

@daisy17 - AOR Peak K2 Vitamin K2 MK-4 is a product that comes from Canada that is also sold on Amazon.
This Inspire forum thread on the same topic has been helpful as I navigate these decisions, too:
