No, not D3 although D3 plays a very important role in the prevention of heart disease and osteoporosis.

Yes Ruth, vitamin K2 it is. In the Rotterdam trial, people with the highest levels of vitamin K2 were eating Gouda or Edam cheese. I take one Vitacost Ultra Vitamin K with Advanced K2 complex softgel  a day (vitacost.com) or one Life Extension Super K with advanced K2 complex a day (iherb.com).

There is a synergistic effect between vitamin K2 and vitamin D. You can ask your doctor request a vitamin D assay to determine the level of vitamin D in your blood. Some people don't get enough sunshine on the skin for their body to make sufficient vitamin D. I take 4000-5000 IU vitamin D3 in capsule form every day.

In the Prospect study involving 16,000 elderly people, each additional 10 micrograms of vitamin K2 in the diet resulted in a 9% reduction of cardiac events.

In another study, arteries with atherosclerotic plaques were found to have a 20-50 fold lower vitamin K2 concentration than arteries without plaque in the same human body.

Over to you.
