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
