[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are better off taking a high quality K2 supplement made from food sources (Vitamin code RAW makes a good one)

The amount of K2 needed for cardiovascular health is hard to achieve through foods that are readily available and aren’t loaded in saturated animal fat.  Aim for 100 mcg per day.  [/quote]

Is it hard to achieve? Is the saturated fat really a concern?

[quote]Many of the best food sources of vitamin K2 also are high in saturated fat, which has been accused of contributing to heart disease without adequate evidence to support this claim. A rigorous meta-analysis, including 347,747 subjects followed for up to 23 years, published in the January 2010 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition clearly showed that there’s a lack of significant evidence for blaming saturated fats for the development of coronary heart disease and cardiovascular diseases. [b]Accordingly, subjects in the Rotterdam Study with the highest vitamin K2 intake consumed more total and saturated fats and also had lower total cholesterol values and higher levels of heart-protective HDL cholesterol.[/b] Therefore, RDs shouldn’t be afraid to recommend foods high in vitamin K2 despite their higher saturated fat content while monitoring their clients’ cardiovascular risk profile, especially if they emphasize high-quality, grass-fed and pastured animal sources.[/quote]
