vitamin K -great! and question...

[Guest guest]

Hi, this answered more questions that I have had (and not found answers for)

since I began taking vitamin K. Thanks bunches!

So how does it compare to vitamin E then...is Vitamin E still then a

fantastic vitamin or is there overlap in their benefits?

 

Thanks again, Linda Lane

Here is the USDA Vitamin K data in PDF form:

http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/Data/Other/pt104.pdf

 

Adequate Vit K is essential for helping to regulate calcium, keeping it from

building up in our tissues and keeping it

in our bones, it's also a stronger antioxidant than either vitamin E or

coenzyme Q10.

 

Vitamin K is not stored in the body, and is therefore non-toxic in high

amounts. Forty-five milligrams a day were used

in osteoporosis studies without any ill effect. Vitamin K has been approved

in Japan for the treatment of osteoporosis

since 1995. Several thousand times more than what people are currently

getting in their diet has been taken without any

toxicity. Dosage depends on an individual's diet, age, whether they are

taking drugs, and what stressors are present.

Generally, 10 mg/day is recommended.

 

This LEF paper on Vitamin K really deserves your read:

Hi Linda,

 

I take about 500 mg of Vit E daily. Cheap insurance!
