@slynnb @johnwes5819 I wanted to pass along something I learned from my environmental medicine doctor about Vitamin D supplements. He does test my blood vitamin D levels to optimize them, and the supplement he has me take is both Vitamin D and Vitamin K2 because the K2 is to regulate and prevent the excess calcium to be deposited in the blood stream. That supplement is from Orthomolecular, and just called K2 D3. Vitamin K is really important, and if you don't get this in your diet, it should be in your Vitamin D supplement.
Here is an explanation of how K2 inhibits the deposition of calcium on the wall of blood vessels.

@jenniferhunter Thank you for the info. I was already aware of this. After I was taking vitamin 50,000 IU of vitamin D3, a few weeks later was when I had my first kidney stone. After I passed the stone I started taking 100 mcg of K2 daily to accommodate access calcium. Glad to hear someone else knew this. Thanks for the reply.

ALL HANDS. Please be careful about taking Vitamin K! Discuss that with your medical doctor before following any nonmedical advice. Vitamin K is an antidote for Warfarin (Coumadin), an anticoagulant that is widely used to reduce chances of blood clots forming within the heart and other parts of the circulatory system. Those clots can really damage the brain, the heart, the kidneys, and other vital organs by blocking the flow of oxygen-rich blood to those organs.
