Guest guest Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 One good thing is that google hits all seem to agree that K1 & K2 are well tolerated in high doses. Here's what they say: Even in high doses, natural forms of vitamin K have not produced symptoms of toxicity. For this reason, the Institute of Medicine at the National Academy of Sciences chose not to set a Tolerable Upper Limit (UL) for vitamin K when it revised its public health recommendations for this vitamin in 2000. Consuming more than the body's needs for dietary vitamin K does not cause the blood to clot excessively in healthy people. However, this does not mean that no potential exists for adverse effects resulting from high intakes. http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=nutrient & dbid=112 " High vitamin K intake not only prevents calcification, but even regresses arterial calcifications, " lead researcher Leon Schurgers from Maastricht University told NutraIngredients.com. http://www.nutraingredients-usa.com/news/ng.asp?id=72666-vitamin-k-mk-cardiovasc\ ular-disease K2 is kinda expensive though.
