Should I take more vitamin K2?
Vitamin K was 1.05 in my most recent labs (range 1-1.2). I currently take 150mcg of K2 and 1,000mcg of K1.
My PTH is high @ 88 (range 15-65).
Calcium low 2.07 (range 2.15-2.6).
D 23.4 (lab range 20-50, Vitalady range 32-100).
__________________________________________________________
I'm on 6 batches of a mixture cal citratet/calcium hydroxyapatite, so 6 x 600 mg.
I'm going to up from 50,000 iu of D3 to 150,000 and am just trying to figure if there's anything else I can do for my calcium/PTH. Last February's Dexa scan showed borderline osteopenia in a couple of vertebra and I want to do what I can before next Feb as I may go the bisphosphonates route if I can't improve things by then.
BTW I've already cut out caffeine and carbonated drinks, not that I was ever much of a coffee or soda drinker.
TIA

I take 4 of Vitalady's K2 a day. I agree with upping the D3 but why 150K vice 100K?

Fours, yes, I think so. That was what it took to see any movement on my osteocalcin labs.
