I have ostopenia as well as some aortic artherosclorsis for which i take low dose aspirin. also take supplemental vit d for deficiency and calcium. question...would it be safe to also supplement with vit k2?

You ask the right question because cardiologist does not like calcium (Ca) supplement due to vascular calcification risk but a family doctor will recommend vitamin D3 + Ca supplement for osteopenia. If you are eating a healthy diet with a good calcium content (dairy products, soybeans, etc.), I would recommend opting out Ca supplement and you can take both D3 + K2 for both bone and heart health.
