Laura Schoenfeld: For the K2, the dose is dependent on the form of K2 that you’re using. If you’re using MK-4, which is the form that you’d find in animal foods, you could probably do about a milligram per day as a dose. That would be fine. Then if you’re using MK-7, which is the plant version of K2, usually more like around 120 to 200 micrograms is enough for a daily dose. Like I said earlier, the K2 vitamin, there’s no toxicity established, so hypothetically somebody could be having thousands of milligrams a day and not react. I don’t know if they’ve ever tested that much, but their original dosage in the research for MK-4 was like three 15-milligram doses per day and there was no toxicity, so I’d say don’t worry about overdosing, but you don’t have to overdose. It’s an expensive vitamin, you wouldn’t want to be doing more than is really necessary.
