Guest guest Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 I don't know.... there are places that show how much vit K is in foods, but they don't seem to separate vit K1 from vit K2. If you believe the study quoted in the second link, they say you can not get enough K2 from food for the benefit (for aterial improvement from calcification). If one has celiac symptoms, or leaky gut, that could be another complication. Amy mike rosner wrote: > > Hope much K1 and K2 does a healthy bowl of cooked spinach have?
