Vitamin K
I've been megadosing Vitamin K (K1 & K2 - M4/M7) with no success in raising my blood levels. Can anyone advise a proven brand? All of the K complex vitamins I have found are gel caps filled with oil. Does anyone know a brand that offers K complex in a dry formula? I do take extra K2 in the EZ melt form.

It's not a combined K1-K2, but I take a K2 pill with a dose of 15,000 mcg, that is the therapeutic dose used in some of the Japanese osteoporosis studies. It far exceeds the 1,000 mcg in others.
The brand is Relentless Improvement Vitamin K2 MK4 Plus MK7. It is a dry capsule. Small pill.
I take one per day. Some take 2 or 3. You might not want to megadose K1 without your doc's ok since it promotes blood clotting. That's good when it stops bleeding, but not so good when it leads to blood clots.
