So I am upping my dose from 3 x 75 mg to 2 x 500 mg daily. I do not take K2 currently. Would y'all think it would be wise to start taking when going to 500 mg? I don't have much money to spend... I think i could get like 200 mcg x 2 daily with the 2 doses of aspirin. What is your thoughts?
Aspirin and K2
I've taken 1g of aspirin for a few days without K2 and not had issues, but I didn't do this for a long period of time. When discussing taking Vitamin K with antibiotics/aspirin, Ray did say that having a few servings of kale would provide enough:
"Eventually, it could cause a vitamin K deficiency. So if you're going to be taking big doses for a long time, you should eat aged cheeses, some liver, cooked kale and broccoli and so on"
Generally trying to stay away from green leafy vegetables as I've head previous problems with such and they just do not sound appetizing or appealing at all to me lol.
I'm gonna do 0.5g twice daily along with some vitamin k2 mk4 drops from thorne. They are dissolved in MCT oil im pretty sure. I heard they are pretty high quality. I can either rub them in my skin, correct me if wrong, or use them with some sort of fat like coconut oil. I will do like 1-1.5 mg of k2 mk4 per 0.5 g of aspirin.
I might up the aspirin to 1.5 mg but i dunno. I am struggling with erectile dysnfunction to an extent after a little over half a year on a very high fat diet (carnivore diet) which ruined my body completly as a 18 yo.
Very sad...
Damn, sorry to hear that. Thorne's vitmain K is pretty good - Ray recommended it before. Oral absorption is better than rubbing on the skin (around 10% absorption), so it would be more economical to take it orally. Taking with fat makes sense.
Have you been seeing any benefits from the aspirin?
Yes, I'm pretty sure the aspirin has actually helped me. I feel better and more clarity and more energetic when i take it combined with extra sugar especially aswell as coffee. So that is why I want to experiment with higher dosages. Not only the health benefits but also some use it as a kind of ED medication in studies I've seen.
Thorne has 1 mg k2 mk4 per drop, how much do you think would be absorbed orally? How many drops should i take when taking my 0.5g aspirin?
Nice! The usual ratio is around 1mg K2 per 300-350mg aspirin - so 1 or 2 drops orally is enough. oral absorption will pretty much be 100%
