@cathyf31: My endocrinologist told me no more than 500 at any given time and so I do know to space it out. Thanks for the new information about vitamin K2. My heart calcium score is already at 60, maybe from taking calcium all these years. (My sister-in-law is 70 and her heart calcium score is zero. She doesn't have osteoporosis so hasn't taken supplements.) So I sure don't want my score to increase if I can prevent it. Thanks for the information.

@mkoch Glad to hear you know about the max. (I was actually told 500 - 600 mg for the max). I personally try to target 400 mg per meal. (The rest gets peed out. 🤣 But I don't want more than necessary....unless it's a special ice cream treat!! 😁🍦😁. (I am careful, due to a Hx of kidney stones). Take care & good luck!!
