I just skimmed the surface and pointed out the most common forms of these vitamins. Vitamin D also comes in D1, D4, and D5, but those aren't very common in the body. Kat, you better get to it quick. The food one goes up tomorrow. :-) Cheers Scott Walter, thanks for pointing that out. I just skimmed the surface and pointed out the most common forms of these vitamins.

I have been thinking about writing a series of posts on the different vitamins and you beat me to it! I actually had it on my list for next week and was just trawling a few of my favorite blogs when I came across your article. Nice work :-) Mind you, I had a slightly different approach in mind and was also going to write on which foods for which vitamins etc, so I may still do that and include a link back to your blog to fill in the gaps! Thanks for a great resource - while opinion based posts are often very interesting, it's great to see a research based post. This is such a timely post – for me!

I've been taking Mk-4 and other varieties of K2 for several years. At 47 yrs old, I just very recently had by my arteries imaged, and they came up extremely clean--basically no sign of calcification (the doctor considered them astounding). And this is after my first 40 years of an abusive, processed foods heavy diet, which I'm certain left my coronary condition in a very worrisome state. All totally reversed now (I take some 80 supps daily, and eat a low carb, mostly natural diet, and I'm now supremely fit). Vit K2 is definitely a top 10 supplement.

Vitamin K2 comes in several flavors, not just MK-7, but also MK-8, MK-9, etc. Also, these are much MORE bioavailable than K1, and are therefore MORE useful than K1. The long-chain K2s (particularly MK-9) are found in Swiss-style cheeses, which are fermented using propriono bacteria. The cheeses with the highest amounts are Jarlsberg and Emmenthaler. Dutch studies have shown that those who ate the most vitamin K2 (which mostly came from cheeses) had the lowest rates of calcified arteries and heart disease. This relationship did NOT occur with intake of vitamin K1. Your information about vitamin K is not entirely accurate.
