So 25mcg is equal to 1,000 IU. I take 3,000 IU but only because Tymlos "eats up" D3. I raised my D levels years ago by taking 3,000 but then did maintenance with 2,000 IU, which would be 50mcg.

McCormick told me to take 45 mcg of K2 (MK-7). But here is Margaret Martin's take:

Vitamin K2 MK7 dosage recommendation is 150 to 180 µg per day. This is based on the dosage used in most recent research studies.
Recommended daily dosage for Vitamin K2 MK4 is 45 mg in Asia and Japan. Other jurisdictions do not provide guidance.

I am a little nervous about overdoing K2 but need to take MK4 as well.

ps @callalloo I also take potassium in the form of low sodium V-8 for muscle cramps AND afib. The cans have something like 1250 mg and the large plastic bottles have 850mg for 8 oz.- a lot of potassium! The afib forum told me about this a few years ago. No more cramps.
