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

Why oh why do many people here rush to buy and use so many supplements? Have those of you on the more supplements train considered improving your diet? Why buy and plug things like vitamin K when you can add some kale, carrot juice, collard greens, etc.? Not only improving any deficiency (BTW you can be tested for A, D, E and K deficiency) if it exists at all but also your GUT health?
I was just at my doc yesterday and she’d like me to up my calcium just a small amount but by DIET—more sardines with bones, bok choy, etc. I don’t have one doctor out of the three main ones I see for my conditions that tell me to go buy a bunch of supplements. They ALL suggest DIETARY improvements!
Sorry I just do not get the mindset here of supplements upon supplements. Especially when it has been shown over and over that diversification of diet and the gut improves OVERALL health! My two cents.

@ccps101 Most of the people here haven't rushed. We are on this site to research, learn, and compare notes and perspectives with others, including yourself.
As one example, I have spent several months reading about Vitamin K MK4 and have looked at about 28 sources from research papers and doctor's interviews. As an outcome I am only this week starting to take only 1/3 of the Japanese protocol while continuing to research.
As a second example, @kathleen1314 has shared many research links about taking Strontium which I and others have read carefully. Some have decided to take Strontium supplements, and others (including me) to not take strontium, after reading those and considering their current person situation.
Again, I appreciate your perspective and suggestions around diet!

@ccps101 I don't think there's any foods than can supply the high doses of Vitamin K in MK-4 and MK-7 forms that are recommended for osteoporosis.
