I use Dr Mercola’s Vit K2, 180 mcg of MK7, made from chickpeas. I use this because it is the closest one to the dosage I wanted of 200 mcg. I take this mid morning along with my Vitamin D3 with a serving of full fat Greek yogurt. Different opinions about taking D3 and K together. One opinion is don’t take your fat soluble vitamins together because they compete for absorption. Another opinion is you need D3 for K to work so take them together. But this works for me. My MK4 is with my calcium, Osteo-K by NBI. If I take the recommended dosage I get 45 mg, which is the prescribed dosage in Japan for osteoporosis. But I only take this on the days I don’t get enough calcium from food.

I am only taking MK7 at this time of 180 mcg. And thanks for mentioning that there are different opinions as to taking it with D. (Who to believe?) As far as MK4 my understanding is that you need to divide it and take 15 mg three times a day for a total of 45mg because it does not stay in the body long enough to only be able to take it only once a day. With MK7 it lasts much longer and therefore you only need to take it once a day.
