A member asked:
I have blockage in my arteries & high ldl. im taking 5000 iu of d3 with k2 mk-7. lately, constipation, and sharp stabbing sensation for a sec or two. is the cause of this with d3-k2 supplement? side effects of vit d3 & k2-mk7???
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I think 5000 units of Vit D3 is excessive&unnecessary. We usually can't comment on supplements like K2-MK as they are not investigated by government agencies like our FDA. There is fear of contaminants,interactions with medications,uncertainty about dosing&claims of efficacy. I'm more concerned about what your treatments are for circulatory disease& elevated LDL. Stabbing pains are nonspecfic.
