High calcium score: I'm in shock

You are absolutely kicking it!! The trick is the K2. Also, when taking D3 and K2 together, the D3 will win on the uptake and only about 40% of the K2 is absorbed. Take a good D3 supplement (10,000 IU) in the morning and then a good K2 with MK4 and MK7 with lunch. Both are fat-soluble vitamins and your Kerrygold will do just fine! Here is the study for this D3/K2: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_1-13ATOOVDbEFBQXFtZlItSDQ/view

10,000 IU is extremely high. The daily recommended dose is 600 IU and most reputable websites I read recommend no more than 2,000 IU / day. I can't post full links at this time (this website won't allow me), but if youy go to ods --dot-- od --dot-- nih --dot-- gov or newsnetwork --dot-- mayoclinic --dot-- org and search on vitamin D, you can read for yourself. That high of a dose can cause side effects like nausea.

jkluv7, thanks so much for reply. Exactly what you said in your post is where I am going - sooner than later. Last week was second visit with "renown" cardiologist and I did press for his thoughts on supplements, especially D3 K2 MK4 MK7 (and maybe Niacin) , I was fearing doing more harm than good, but cardiologist did not say "no." He would rather me take one step at a time, first statin up to 40mg, second is PCSK-9, third would be Zetia, then there is no more left - TRUE? While measuring LP(a) and particle sizes. What I really want is for cardiologist to go in invasively, stent or bypass as needed, taking the 1 in 1,000 risk I through a clot or worse, and do everything you and others have said here.
