There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Seven months later, my teeth were horribly WORSE than before. I had developed a huge cavity in those few months that wasn't there before, my teeth were turning brown all along the inner edges, and one of my molars had a chunk of tooth just chip off on its own, on the side of the tooth. I hadn't really paid much attention to my teeth since I thought the MK7 would be taking care of them for me (dumb, yes I know). I never experienced that 'smoothness' on my teeth people always mentioned when taking vitamin K.
I freaked out and started researching in earnest, everything I could, and why/how people's teeth were improving on vitamin K. I read Weston A Price, the entire website. I knew food sources of vitamin K + cod liver oil were not enough to rescue my teeth, especially the one huge cavity that started to be painful (definitely a root canal waiting to happen), and then I came across one article on Marks Daily Apple that discussed one woman's experience in saving her teeth with vitamin K, specifically MK4, NOT MK7.
After reading that article I immediately ordered Carlson's MK4, which is 5mg per capsule, and started taking three a day, along with the Cure Your Tooth Decay book's emergency protocol of cod liver oil three times a day. The difference in my teeth has been incredible. The huge cavity I have has shrunk, and is now a light brown instead of black, doesn't cause me anymore pain, and all the brown along the inner edges of my teeth have faded away. My teeth are the brightest white they've ever been, and when I run my tongue along them, they are all smooth and clean. Before, when I would floss, the floss would rip and get caught on all kinds of jagged edges between my teeth but not anymore. It's been about 3 months on MK4 but the difference it has made in my teeth is really staggering.
One thing I noticed on the MK4 is that I didn't need to take any vitamin D supplements at all, the vitamin K seems to 'magnify' or multiply what little you get from the sun so I would get terrible headaches and pains when taking both D + K, which disappeared when I stopped the vitamin D. I still get some vit.D from the cod liver oil, and it seems to be enough. My theory is that too much vitamin D without a proper vitamin K to balance/utilize it can really screw you up, and I firmly believe MK7 is NOT the right vitamin K to be taking.
I also tried Thorne's MK4 drops, both sublingually and transdermally (a la Ray Peat), and it did not seem to be as effective as taking Carlson's orally, at least for me.
update June 2017
I am still taking this, but alternate between Carlson's and Thorne MK4 drops (taken orally). I have also added a high dose vitamin A (NOW foods 25,000 from fish oil) to balance out the vitamin D I am taking (5000iu every other day), financially I can't always buy the fermented CLO, which if taken 3 times a day is approx 30,000iu vitamin A (retinol forms not beta carotene). I learned that the headaches I would get were from an imbalance in the fat soluble vitamins (A, D, K) and perhaps occasional oxalate dumping - BUT I'm not an expert. I just am happy to have smooth teeth. I still strongly believe MK7 is not the correct form of vitamin K to take and believe my teeth really suffered during the time I took it. I've read articles that mention MK7 is much cheaper to produce than MK4 so manufacturers stand to gain much more profit from it. Also, Weston A Price noticed the 'X-factor' only when humans consumed animal by-products and not plant products, the former being sources of MK4 and the latter MK7. I don't doubt the health benefits of MK7 but I don't think it affects the bone/tooth structure the way MK4 does.
The source in supplements seems to be entirely synthetic for MK-4(from a tobacco product I read), because sourcing animal products for it for extraction would be out of sight expensive. The highest food source seems to be "Fois Gras" and has 369 mcg in 100 grams, etc. Geese seem to consume the type of grass and consequently K-1 that their system can convert to Mk-4.
MK-9 seems exist in certain cheeses and has a very long half-life.
Mk-7 might have a three day half-life it is claimed.
MK-4 is said to be prescription in Japan for osteoporosis and typically given at 45 mg a day, in three 15 mg doses. Taking it with oil or fat containing meals seems to have a huge impact on absorption and consequentially utilization.
I ordered two shippings of "two month supplies" at the just mentioned dosage, from a different than Amazon vendor, after ordering and partially consuming this Carlson product.
I just discovered that Amazon now has vendors, including itself or Prime vendors, that carry the 15 mg/90 capsule bottles, which would be the Japanese monthly dosage for osteoporosis therapeutics. The source, brand, bottler, or whatever is called "Complementary Prescriptions" and can be located with a search on Amazon. The bulk manufacturer is probably based in China, though this isn't documented for the above product, there does seem to be MK-4 manufacturing sources in China, (...and since it isn't stated as being based elsewhere...).
edit: In Japan the supplier is "Eisai" who apparently has a patent from the Ministry of Japan. MK-4 is sold in Japan and across Asia under the brand name Glakay.
This is really work I felt good
Still the price is so high and few alternatives available will continue purchasing it

今回2回目の購入ですが、ビタミンK2(MK-4メナテトレノンの方)の使用を始めてから2か月で黒い虫歯の点が少し外側に押し出されて来ていました。(鏡で見ると少し移動してました)
多分歯の中心から再生してきてます。
ビタミンK2のMK-4とドラッグストアのマグネシウム(サプリ売り場の)とを併用してます。
完全に歯が治るかどうかはまだ未知数ですが、1年は様子を見ようと思います。
もっと状態の悪い歯の方も再生したら良いなとか考えてます。(今日もそっちの歯が少し欠けてしまいましたが)
届いて、あれってなった。
60カプセルってなかなか日本では瓶型ケースに入っていないからちょっと驚きました。
空っぽかと思うぐらい全体が軽いです。
とにかく到着しました、ありがとうございます。
