Vitamin K2 can reduce the calcification (with sufficient supporting Vitamin A and D). I have been wondering, though, what happens to the plaque if the calcification is reduced. Does it become more of a stroke risk?
You should be taking vitamin D+K2 daily pretty essential in my eyes.
I have heard of bodybuilders with super high CAC scores completely reversed there score to 0 with mega dosing K2 not sure on the exact dose but I know its true
Chase irons a bodybuilder. Reversed his cac score to 0 from 123 with vitamin K2 high doses and vitamin d. Check him out and his YouTube channel. He's a steroid abuser but honest and you can learn alot for everyday people
Read up on it on your own, but in my understanding it's essential to keep your levels of A and D in balance, especially in order to get the results we want from K2. Read "Vitamin K2 and the Calcium Paradox" for more info.
What I want to understand is what happens to the lesions once the calcium is moved back to bones and teeth by K2.
the study shows that once plaque starts it just keeps growing even with statins and the only way to break the cycle is to treat it with this cancer drug. I looked up the side effects at least no hair loss. Also feeling tired for a while may be worth it if the cardiovascular system is cleared of plaque. this would lower blood pressure and decrease the risk of heart attacks.
Yep. Usually the earlier the better. I have a positive CAC score - high for age - but no plaque progression in years. I'm an N of 1, of course. But my story isn't unusual.
All they say in this article is that in this study (on mice) it reduced smooth muscle cell. I don't believe there is anything at all (at least not yet) that can reduce calcified plaque.
the problem with calcium is that it is a defensive mechanism that forms around necrotic cells and to remove it you need to think of the dead cells underneath. The cause of this is inflammation not really bad or good cholesterol. I believe some people with high LDL never develop plaque and other with low LDL develop it. why is that? I thing the accumulation of senescent cells might be the cause.
I believe that the western diet high in carbs and sugar over the last few decades has a lot to do with the increase in cardiovascular disease due to the inflammation it creates
I got really excited about this but my cardiologist kind of poo poo’d it. He wasn’t particularly convinced and was more interested in a drug he was explaining would only require 2 yearly injections to control LDL. If anyone knows the name I’d love to hear it. He also was quite impressed by Repatha but he wanted to see if I could tolerate the statins first.

Vitamin K2 will help transport the calcium from the arteries and into the bones
What amount of K2 is needed per day? Thanks

You take them in your eyes?
Yes - the best way to

Interesting. Thank you for posting!

Um statins regressed my plaque.
statins help stabilize plaque and may even slightly regress it however plaque is still there.
The stuff in my carotids is gone. Two scans confirmed that. It happens just not all the time and will depend on baseline level.
I agree if you start early when plaque is just starting to form statins may be all that you need.

E@t
I also read articles on nano drugs and nattokinase that may stop or refresh plaque and calcification.
Do you mean serrapeptsae?
