First, if you eat dried fruit, acid fruits, or fruit juices away from home, buy an extra toothbrush and dental floss that you can carry with you. Brush and floss right after eating these foods.

Dr. Kate believes every vegan or high-vegan person should either eat natto daily, or take a K2 supplement. Pregnant women should definitely supplement, to avoid teeth and dental arch problems in your child. At the other end, menopausal and postmenopausal women have a higher need for K2. Children metabolize bone at a quicker rate than adults,

1. Fermented Dairy Foods A 2006 study calculates the K2 content of fermented dairy as follows:,  Dairy food (100g) Vitamin K2 in mcg Hard Cheese (like Dutch Gouda) 76.3 (mostly MK-7) Soft Cheese (like French Brie) 56.5 (mostly MK-7) Curd Cheese 24.8 (mostly MK-7) A 2007 study found that Norwegian Jarlsberg and Swiss Emmental are highest

The message is clear. Blend, juice, or steam a big quantity of leafy greens daily. You already know you must do that for vitamin A. Salads won’t work, you’d be chewing for hours! Davis & Melina recommend you eat 600 grams of leafy greens a day. That’s 21 oz, say 1-1/3 lbs. Dr. Joel Fuhrman says

Vitamins A, D, and K2 are on the same team. A and D tell your cells to make a variety of proteins – especially those involved with calcium – and K2 gets those proteins to work, and not lie around idle. Vitamins A (retinol) and D (cholecalciferol) don’t directly instruct your DNA. Your body changes them

Vitamin K2 Deficiency Is Universal If you’re eating K2, then you have activated osteocalcin and MGP – both doing a good job of clawing onto calcium and moving it to where it belongs. If you lack K2, then you see inactive osteocalcin and MGP floating around in your blood, their one little claw flailing helplessly by
