Everyone in the better bones community
Today i want to answer a few questions
That you’ve been sending in
The first question relates to vitamin k2
As mk7 now this particular person says
Look
I want to take natto which is a
Fermented soy
Which is actually where mk7 first came from
It’s a very strong ferment it’s like a
Smells like a very rotten cheese
Not many americans like it but natto is great
It will it will give you lots of mk7 and
It’s been showin in japan to be associated with good heart disease
Strong bone health
That’s natto
mk7 is an extract they made from natto
And now they make it from chickpea they
Ferment chickpeas and then they have mk7
And that is the only active ingredients
In natto
That really helps keep calcium in the bone
And keep calcium out of the arteries
And so they are both fine factors to use
There’s no problem using them together
In fact vitamin k
Is very safe except if a person were on
Coumadin drugs that’s the only exception
So you can use both natto and mk7
Supplements
Most people don’t like the natto we know
The effective dose of mk7 is about 200 180 micrograms and interesting
I’ve been talking to the researchers in
The netherlands who are working on the
Mk7 and they’re using a higher dose
Like 300 milligrams to see if they can
Reduce arterial calcification
That’ll be fascinating i’ll let you know
When that research comes through when
It’s finalized

I have been diagnosed with severe bone loss and I am only 40 years old.. Had 2 fractures the past 3 years (back and foot)... I am not taking the suggested bone medicine and injections BUT instead I changed my whole diet... cut sugar (only one dessert per week)... fresh green juices, raw cheese, nuts butter, calcium supplements from bovine, collagen peptides, magnesium glycinate, zinc, vitamin d+k2 and I eat natto everyday now (the taste is bad but I put half of banana and a tablespoon of tahini and its great). I started to walk 2 hours per day and do light weight exercise like gentle squats... and I take sun almost everyday! hopefully this will improve my bone density....

Natto is a super food. It’s amazing. I ate it for three months straight. I just eat Natto with mustard and hot sauce. I am trying to lower my cholesterol and increase my iron. It made my hair grow like crazy! I am going to eat it at least once a week. I’m also eating vegan yogurt.

I'm now eating natto with avocado, mustard, a teaspoon of mayonnaise, soya sauce, a bit of raw red onion, black pepper, cilantro and a touch of wasabe. I'm enjoying it.

Thanks very much Dr Susan - Love you and your excellent educational videos 💓😊

[BillyRayV]

Excellent. Very concise. Informative. Exactly how YouTube information should be presented. Well done. More of this please. Subscribed!

[miabeia]

I just ordered one that was made from chickpeas.. I was using the one that came from Natto for over a year but I’m thinking that my body isn’t liking it as much anymore so I decided to try the chickpea one after watching one of your videos! I The formula also has Nettles in it too. also I take Vitamin D with it and Magnesium because I’ve have read that they all seem to work together. Thanks so much I’m a new subscriber..❤️

Has the study re elevated levels of mk7 for calcification of arteries come out?

[acchukutty]

Dr susan my husband recently got a high bp of 140/100 . He started taking mk7 400 mg, nattokinase 200 mg, fish oil, garlic oil capsules and lisinopril 5mg . Lisinopril was prescribed by his general physician and even after a week it did not lower his bp. But after starting mk7 and nattokinase just 2 days his high bp has lowered to 130/95. Can he also take serapeptase 1, 20, 000 spu along with the nattokinase 200 mg on an empty stomach ( stopping all other blood thinners ) ? Waiting for your response 🙏

[gregdiamondmusic]

My cardiologist told me not to take vitamin K2 because it’s a coagulant and I’m taking baby aspirin. Any thoughts? Does it reverse the effect of the aspirin and put me at a higher risk for arterial clotting?

[judy]

I would like to know if it is better to take the MK7 from natto or the one fermented from chickpeas. I understand natto was used in the clinical trials. Also, better to take a higher dose, above 180 mcg or even more than 200 mcg for osteoporosis? I am not taking any meds.

Hi Dr Susan!
Am interested if there's a followup video on the Netherlands's study mentioned about increased dosage outcome (300mcg) regarding arterial calcification? Since first watching this I've read an interesting article/testimonial which significantly reduced cholesterol + triglycerides in apx six months using (per day) 400mcg K2 (M7), with 10, 000 FU of Nattokinase, and 1200mg Grape Seed Proanthocyanidin Extract. This independent researcher found, amazingly...
• LDL cholesterol - 25% decrease
• HDL cholesterol - 20% increase
• Triglycerides - 46% decrease
(Source: Earth Clinic "Nattokinase's Role in Effectively Treating High Cholesterol"
Looking forward to your reply. Thanks much - Have a happy day!

Good video with all the info that I needed. Short & to the point.
The transcript is a great idea. As I mis-heard the name of the drug that it should not be taken with :)

[Harry]

The natto that was real and studied was the nsk-sd version, so make sure the natto you buy has sd on it, this is the one that has study on it

[annanimity]

I have dermatomyositis along with calcinosis universalis. Would this help me keep calcium in my bones instead of my soft tissue?

[rubenmckinley]

65 year woman after ful body scan started taking k2 for calcium in arteries.. During scan found out she had a calcified fibroid....after a few weeks of K2 she stared noticing cramping..could the K2 be removing calcium from the fribroid?

[Willowy]

What about mixing attokinase and K2 Mk7? I ask because I was using both and had a bleeding.

[marvinfalikovic]

Can mk7 reverse calcium in the arteries.

[chaz]

You said effective dose is 200 micrograms. Then you said in Netherlands they are using 300 milligrams.

Did you mean to say _micrograms_ the second time, or are they really using a 150 times larger dose?

[sixpackbinky]

Can natto be used while taking a calcium channel blocker or ace inhibitor?
