Hi hiker, please keep us updated with your checks. I appreciate this forum since I learn a lot each day and I have to protect my health so as not to be disabled. Aging really builds up plaques in the arteries. I came across a doctor who was on the same situation as you (holding off statins). He took a low dose and it worked wonders on his plaques to a point of being reversed. Hope this link helps and there is no danger in taking K2 with Vit D as long as you are not on blood thinners.

He has medical tests to prove the reversal. youtu.be/QOWF0KTNu2g?si=2bsaqg1-PaZg2zGL.
