Short two-speaker health discussion (YouTube short) emphasizing that vitamin D receptors are present on every cell and that vitamin K2 is essential to direct calcium into bones and prevent soft-tissue/arterial calcification; speakers advise that K2 is critical and excess calcium supplementation is often unnecessary without K2.
Vitamin D. First, I just want everyone to hear this. There's a receptor on every cell of your body for vitamin D. You don't even have to be like, what is she talking about, receptor? Just understand that means that your body's like, give me the vitamin D. I need it to function. And it is really important for functioning. The K2 is really important in terms of preventing cardiovascular risk and bone fractures. Essentially, when I was mentioning calcium. In order for calcium to stay out of your arteries, you don't want it in your arteries. In order for it to stay out of there and to get into your bones where you want it, you need K2. Like, it is literally a critical part of the little math equation that's happening inside of your body. You want your calcium to protect you and get into your bones. Great. You gotta have K2 on board.
Can I just apologize essentially, to all of the patients that for 10 or 15 years, I told them to take calcium and vitamin D, because that is what the societies were telling me to do. Like North American Menopause Society, American College of obgyns, you know, Family Practice Society. They were recommending you just need D and calcium. And unfortunately, we saw a rise in calcium going into soft tissue, creating plaques in the arteries, kidney stones in those areas, Calcifications in the breast, like, the calcium will go to the soft tissue without that K2. So it's essential, ladies, like, we don't need all the extra calcium supplementation, but we definitely need the K2 to direct it into the right place.
