Comment

Good article, but tbere is too much about Vitamin K1. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.147.122.158 (talk) 16:55, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

'Health effects - Bone density' section begins like this: It has been suggested that vitamin K2 may play an important role in maintaining healthy levels of bone mineral density (BMD). However, data on the subject is inconclusive - some clinical trials show no improvement of BMD after vitamin K supplementation. First indications came from patients with femoral neck fractures, who demonstrated an extremely low level of circulating vitamin K. The strong association between vitamin K2 deficiency and impaired bone health was later proved by both laboratory and clinical studies.

This is confusing. "... data on the subject is inconclusive..." and "... strong association ... later proved...". One of these statements should be changed to remove the inconsistency. Woodlawn bill (talk) 18:47, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Poor sourcing

Much of this article is sourced to non-WP:MEDRS. A major cleanup is needed. Alexbrn (talk) 12:37, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Bone density: Removed poor reference and aggregated content. Dr Olive (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 21:40, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Does reducing arterial calcification actually reduce all-cause mortality?

Does reducing arterial calcification actually reduce risk? Intriguing prevention information but the dangerous plaque in the blood vessels is the unstable form that has not yet calcified. If you reduce the calcification, are you left with unstable plaques? I haven't found the studies, if they exist, showing that reducing existing calcification results in reduced all-cause mortality. If and when that study is done please include it here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ocdcntx (talk • contribs) 02:56, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

new age version of K2

site is going to have trouble very non-sci

You know it would have gone much better for you if you discussed this calmly, like an adult, instead of throwing a tantrum. And "Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial 3.0 Unported License" is not a license compatible with Wikipedia. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 11:32, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
