I take K2 as Mk-7 and Mk-4. The study show the MK-7 is the active firm. MK-4 needs to converted to Mk-7.

My last DEXA scan was good - so I only take maintenance dose : I take 100mcg Mk-7 and 100 mg MK-4. Dry form. Capsules.

Plus I get at least 2000 mg magnesium per day. Some oxide (to help with bm) some citrate.

Does it matter when it is taken?

Does it matter when it is taken?

What? K2? or magnesium? or ???

I take dry form of D3 and dry K2. I try to take that on an empty pouch, away from any fat and. Both - D3 and K2.

As for magnesium- I take mag citrate during the day, in divided dosage. Mag oxide- to have a good BM - I take before bed.

Too much magnesium may cause runs. I take just enough. I increased mag slowly. then once my body had enough - or rather too much - I decreased that until I no longer had runs. Since I am mostly constipated - I don't mind a day of 2 of not having to strain.

are you taking your calcium at once or spaced out? Ive read that you can only absorb 500mg at a time, so space out your calcium.
