Menaquinone-7 supplementation, when compared to placebo, significantly decreased serum fasting insulin (p = .002), homeostasis model of assessment insulin resistance (p = .002), and homeostasis model of assessment β-cell function (p = .02) in addition to a significant increase in quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (p = .001). Also, MK-7 administration led to significant declines in serum triglyceride (p = .003) and dihydrotestosterone (DHT; p = .03) levels, free androgen index (p < .001), waist circumference (p = .03), and body fat mass (p < .001) as well as significant increases in skeletal muscle (p < .001) and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG, p < .001).
I can only see more benefits here.
I managed to fix my Vit D3 deficiency by taking D3+K2 (MK-7) only about twice a week and sometimes thrice a week. I performed a blood test, and I went from 6.7 ng/mL (severe) to 37 ng/mL (normal levels) in about 3-4 months. The good with D3+K2 is that are fat-soluble, so you can do the trick with lower dosages as well. I have to admit, though, that I didn't notice improvements in my hair. Maybe a bit of reduction in shedding, and probably I should have stuck with it more. I stopped for about 2 months, and now I have started taking it again. I think it was a bad move, for both my PTH hormone and my D3. I should stick with it because I don't have great food sources for vitamin D in my diet. Also, I have read some studies that it can trigger and worsen telogen effluvium conditions. So, that is something to consider. Also, this is a great site that explains vitamin D and PTH relationships->https://www.parathyroid.com/low-vitamin-d.htmYes Vitamin K2 is extremely important and quite rare besides in supplement form.
It also helps to reduce calcification which we know can cause hairloss. This combination of Dr Bergs including Vitamin D3 10 000 IU + Magnesium 25mg + Vitamin K2 100mcg + Vitamin B6 30mg + Zinc 20mg + Medium Chain Triglycerides 10mg (PER SERVING which is all in ONE Capsule) is the best combination I've seen.
It's important to note when fixing a Vitamin D deficiency you need to treat it with high dose Vitamin D3 around 10 000iu.
We also know the importance of Zinc and Vitamin B6 taken in combination.
So this supplement is a Good high dose + 120 Capsules which will last 4 months! Excellent value for money.
If I hadn't done so many blood tests that I have done until now, I wouldn't know anything about my health in general. Hair has led me to all these. Searching and searching. Dermatologists and Endocrinologists are sometimes so strict prescribing specific things. Of course, I am not a master. Doctors are doctors. I'm just saying.But a dermatologist will invariably do a Vit D test in your blood serum, not so much on magnesium. Why is that?
What's the purpose of megadosing? That much seems like overkill.It's important to note when fixing a Vitamin D deficiency you need to treat it with high dose Vitamin D3 around 10 000iu.
