Vitamin D severe deficiency
I have vitamin D 5ng/mol.
So I have been prescribed D3 uprise 60000 for drinking once in a week along with calcium supplements shelcal 500 on alternate days.
But I came to know that K2 supplements are necessary for the absorption at the right place.
So , which K2 supplement should I take and dosage ?
Hii you need not need a k12 supplement as you are not being diagnosed with its deficiency . These days alot of im formation which may not be correct is also circulated . If you needed the supplement the doctor would have prescribed you the same . You are a right track

Yes ,
Vitamins K2 works synergistically either vitamin D by helping calcium go into the bones and preventing unwanted calcification in arteries
If your diet rich in fermented foods, egg yolk, ghee , liver, fatty fish, you may get some K2 naturally
Forms of vitamin K2
MK 7 ( menaquinone -7)
MK -4 : shorter half -life , required higher /frequent doses
