3. I started taking the K2 MK-7 last year after my brother had calcification of arteries and bypass

After my brother discovered his artery calcification requiring quadruple bypass (he is a health conscious long distance runner) I saw some articles indicating MK-7 might help prevent the deposit of calcium in arteries so I have been taking it along with Vit D3. The MK-7 is expensive though and I do eat some fermented foods occasionally.

My brother's symptoms occurred during his strenuous runs. So far I haven't noticed any problems with strenuous exercise. I do have osteopenia so maybe it will help keep bones from getting worse. My mother had kidney stones and my cousin died from sepsis caused by blockage from kidney stones so I'm trying to avoid that too and staying hydrated is important.
