Question

Part I: in shortVitamin D, as we are learning, is not a true vitamin. Ideally, we synthesize our own from natural sunlight, but that is not possible or practical for most of us these days. It seems that almost everyone who has their blood tested latelyis diagnosed with a Vitamin D deficiency, and they often receive a prescription for a high dose supplement. It is a little known fact, though it is briefly introduced in Lecture 6,that Vitamin D works best with the form of Vitamin K (menaquinone or K2) that we synthesize if our gut bacteria is in balance. K2 is also present in a very few foods and as a supplement. Choose either Vitamin D or K2 to kick-off your main post. Discuss risks/benefits of supplementation and deficiency issues. If you choose K2, you might want to mention how it differs from K1 (phylloquinone),but keep the focus on K2 Although you are choosing only one of the two vitamins to focus on first, it is appropriate to mention how your vitamin of choice interacts with the other.Part II:reply to the following posts(about 50 words each)
I'll post it once you finish part I.
