I want to emphasize that this book is fantastic -- for the most part. Everyone needs to know about vitamin K2. This book is eye opening for many, many reasons. Please get it and read it.

However, if you go beyond food souces, her advice on supplement choices seems to gloss over, and perhaps even mislead, with some of the facts in regard to her recommendation for the MK-7 version of vitamin K2 instead of the MK-4 version.

Her main criticism of MK-4 is the that it is `synthetic.' That `synthetic' word is a red flag for many, myself included. However, all the supplements are made in a factory/laboratory. The MK-4 is still made with natural occurring ingredients, just like the MK-7.

But even more important, which one is really going to work for you!

My personal experience:
I have yet to hear from anyone that the MK-7 supplements will dissolve the calcified plaque that forms behind the lower front teeth. In 2 days, the Thorne MK-4 supplement completely removed the krud behind my teeth. I was amazed by this. Ever since, I don't need a teeth cleaning at the dentist. I had been taking the Jarrow MK-7 for more than a year without this dramatic effect.

This proves to me that this supplement is taking calcium away from someplace it's not supposed to be and, hopefully, putting it someplace that it IS supposed to be. Which is the major idea presented in this book.

I switched to the MK-4 as an experiment after reading Richard Nikolay's post on Free the Animal blog where he was surprised to notice this same teeth cleaning effect. And I had read about it along time ago in the Track Your Plaque blog of Dr. William Davis.

Why does this author emphasize that MK-7 is better than MK-4?

Please read the studies directly.

Beware: taking calcium and/or vitamin D can kill you if you don't also supplement with K2!

This excellent book explained why more than 6 months of taking 10,000iu daily of vitamin D3 did nothing for me, even though I live way north of the 40th parallel (most people above that are deficient and, the further north, the more deficient we are). Calcium needs vitamin D3 and both need vitamin K2 (the author recommends K2 in the form of menaquinone-7 or MK-7 but apparently there is research indicating MK-4 is better)!
`
[later note: I did have problems with MK7. Thanks to warnings from two kind Amazon readers in the comments section about MK7 affecting the heart I switched to MK4. I had been wondering why my atrial fibrillations had worsened again recently - there are several kinds of af, mine feels like heart shivers, essentially the top half of the heart sometimes shudders like a jelly because it is not pumping in time with the lower half. I was despairing about the worsening because the af had finally started to get better - within a month of starting the combined treatment of my adrenal fatigue and low thyroid (undiagnosed for 20 years! PLEASE read Stop The Thyroid Madness if you suspect problems with either or both yourself). I just hadn't realized that the MK4 - which I had only started taking just a few weeks ago - was the reason! I stopped the MK4 as well, and my af reduced substantially within 24 hours of stopping the MK4. Perhaps anyone with heart issues should avoid K2 - or perhaps it's because I don't need to supplement with K2 because I eat mainly organic ("grass-fed") meat products, which provide K2, unlike commercially farmed meats?]

I read eight (yes 8) books on vitamin D3, most of them well researched, yet none of them explained this.
