Healthy Origins Vitamin K2 100 mcg (MK-7, Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Cardiovascaular Support, Bone Support), 180 Veggie Gels

This is my story. Where do I start. I’m not diabetic but I was having some really bad nerve pain a year ago so I started taking a magnesium supplement a few months later which was a great discovery for me because it actually helped my pain. I was also having really bad arthritis pain and bone pain so I started taking this vitamin K2 supplement and it sent me in to 98% pain free heaven. I had had a mri, and X-Ray earlier this year that showed really bad arthritis. My bone density test four years ago showed severe loss of bone mass. I was at that time taking a calcium supplement that contained vitamin c, vitamin d3, vitamin K2 MK7, and boron, but for some reason it made my pain worse so I stopped taking it. I would start back taking it and the pain would wreaked so much havoc on my body that I could barely walk. I was spending so much time in bed because of the pain that it became debilitating. Continuous use of NSAIDs were not an option and suicide became a thought. So I started researching vitamin K2 and what was the best form of vitamin K2 after reading what vitamin K2 was good for. It stated that natto was the best. I was already eating so much sauerkraut that I felt like it was coming through the pores in my skin. So I did more research until I saw this supplement that it contained natto. I decided to give it a try and boy am I glad I did. I also want to mention that I take warfarin and it has not interfered with or affected my INR results at all. In fact my results seem to be better. The NP in my doctor’s office was skeptical about me taking it but I explained to her that it’s the vitamin K1 that deals with clotting which happens in the liver. Vitamin K2 deals with dispersing calcium where it should go which is in the bones and not the blood vessels which can cause atherosclerosis. She acted like she was actually surprised to hear that. I had a bone density study done three months ago and the results had greatly improved which to me proves that this supplement really works. I love that these softgels are small and easy to swallow. They don’t seem to have a taste to them but has the feel that they will melt if kept in a very warm environment. I thought the cost was a bit much since I’d never tried them before to see if they were any good. But I am happy that I did try them and feel that for how they have helped me the cost is worth it and I will definitely be buying them again. I started taking one a day but changed to taking 2 a day which seems to work better. And since vitamin K is a fat soluble vitamin I do take these with a meal. I don’t know if the natto makes it any less fat soluble but I feel these should still be taken with a meal that contains some fat. There’s a lot more to my journey and how it led me to seek my own safe way to pain relief. I hope this review will help others to find a safe, non prescription, and inexpensive way to help them in their pain relief journey. Prayer and this vitamin K2 supplement was definitely a godsend for me.

Great K2 supplement. Easy to swallow. Essential for calcium absorption!

Good product, my doctor recommended me to take it for plague.

It’s not a capsule! Easy to take small gel tab that augments D3. I always had trouble with the capsules, found this and have repeatedly ordered.Try it you won’t be sorry!

I asked Healthy Origins executives directly what FORM their K2 mk7 provides? They proudly advised me, "the FORM of Vitamin K2 mk7 we use is the ALL TRANS-FORM vitamin K2 that actually yields over 99% purity (the highest available)". Healthy Origins purchase their raw material called vitaMK7®'s from Gnosis Lesaffre in Italy, where it's produced using a patented biotransformation that doesn't rely on other chemical compounds! It has been found to be the most bioavailable FORM of K2.Vitamin K2mk7 benefits are promising but currently only SPECULATIVE. The science is emerging, but INCOMPLETE and UNPROVEN at this time, whether it's EFFECTIVE, specifically for cardiovascular health PROTECTION purposes.A top PREVentative MEDicine doctor who previously worked at John Hopkins hospital as the head of their preventative medicine instruction program, recently advised based on all current studies that he's reviewed, that a 400 mcg vitamin K2mk7 daily dosage is the minimum required before any benefits of its usage has been seen.I switched almost 2 years ago to the enhanced 200mcg K2mk7 & 2,000 i.u. Vitamin D3 combo, from their original too weak 100 mcg K2mk7 without Vitamin D3 version. The 200 mcg. version is a more economical way to reach the new 400 mcg. daily recommended dosage by taking 2 capsules daily. I started with1 per day but the new research indicates I should double it.Reduceing inflammation, inhibiting soft plaque production and controlling insulin resistance are some of the promising possible benefits being revealed by ongoing research of this supplement, unfortunately the science to support it's effectiveness is still at a very early stage. There's no evidence that it's harmful even at a up to 3 mg daily dosage, so for now, I would consider my usage of this product to be highly speculative and experimental at best.

i used this product for years, very happy about it

Love the small capsules that are easy to take leaving mo aftertaste. This supplement is extremely important for bone health. This particular brand is absolutely great.

Research this! So good to take with your vitamin D. Great value too!
