K2 from natto is of the mk7 variety, whereas K2 from animal products is of the mk4 variety. I understand that each has a different effect on the body.

They can all be located here: http://wholehealthsource.blogspot.com/search/label/fat-soluble%20vitamins Because of Stephan's work here, I read also that Chris Masterjohn piece at the WAPF site, then read most of Nutrition and Physical Degeneration, probably the most important book on nutrition I've ever read. Price studied a bunch of non-industrial cultures in the 20's and 30's and documented their excellent dental and general health (they didn't brush, floss, or have dentists, either). I've been on K2 (MK-4, the kind made from K1 by mammals, for other mammals -- as Stephan puts it) supplementation for maybe six months now. I've posted some of my experiences with it: http://www.google.com/cse?cx=partner-pub-7567464628287373%3Awin3yvc67zs&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=k2&sa=Search In general, plaque dissolved on my teeth within a few days and has never returned. I used to have to have cleanings 4 times per year to remove huge plaque buildup. A Paleo diet improved that a lot, and K2 has rendered it a non-issue; so much so that I don't even brush my teeth every day anymore. I wake up and they are always pearly smooth. If you've ever been on an antibiotic like tetracycline, you may have noticed how soft it makes your skin. Same result with K2, virtually over night. Within about 3 months, the strength of my fingernails have at least doubled. They are actually highly useful tools, now. Very functional, and they never break. I'm sure Grok put his fingernails to good use every day. One of Stephan’s K2 posts at Whole Health Source was linked above, but he has several others as well as peripheral stuff on it.

I stopped eating it over the past 3 years because of primal/EF life style. Is it ok to eat you think even though it's soy? Eat as a treat every now and than perhaps? Or just a no-no? Thanks once again for the informative post. Marc Mark,

But I guess that's why I'm on here, Mark :) Hm, seems vultures get a good portion of K2, no? Eating fermented dead animal and such... Speaking of fermented - the English lords and ladies are said to have a taste for fermented game. And, the french love their stinky cheese. Now we know WHY. It's all about vit K2. I knew those rich b******s were onto something LOL! -Yavor Didn’t know about that. But I guess that’s why I’m on here, Mark :)
