you may know this but ran across it reading about the Rotterdam study. suggests your consumption of K2 may actually reverse the calcification.
'In a fascinating study, rats given vitamin K1 plus warfarin were not protected against arterial calcification. The scientists fed rats a diet containing warfarin plus vitamin K1, vitamin K2 (MK-4), or both vitamin K1 and K2 (MK-4). None (0%) of the rats that received vitamin K2 developed arterial calcification, while 100% of the rats that received vitamin K1 without vitamin K2 displayed calcification in the aorta and carotid arteries!49 A more recent study showed that higher-dose vitamin K decreased arterial calcium content by 50% in rats.49 What makes this finding so remarkable is that most people over age 30–40 already have some degree of arterial calcification and up until now have had no means to reverse it.'
