Vitamin K2 is the difference between milk being a superfood and it being a health risk. Vitamin D gets calcium into your bloodstream, but K2 removes it from arterial plaque and puts it in your bones.
Your body needs calcium, to build and maintain strong bones. K2 is what takes the calcium in your blood and pushes it into the bones. Without the k2, plaque builds up on your blood vessels increasing blood pressure and if it closes off the wrong thing you die.
VitD also helps absorb K2 into your body. I'm not sure what the other guy said but D and k2 are often sold together for this reason.

[Cleveland Clinic page on K2](https://health.clevelandclinic.org/vitamin-k2).
Highlights:
Vitamin K can help keep your blood not too thick and not too thin. In the words of Goldilocks, it keeps your blood just right.
Vitamin K helps activate a protein called osteocalcin, which binds to calcium to build bones. That makes vitamin K an essential component of bone health.
...vitamin K helps keeps your heart healthy. That’s because of the way it acts to clear out calcium from your blood vessels.
When calcium builds up in your body, it can lead to hardening (or calcification) of your tissues, organs and blood vessels. Calcium deposits in your arteries can lead to high blood pressure, kidney disease and more.
The K2 must be naturally sourced. If it's synthetic, it will do more harm than good. It should use the term "*trans*" menaquinone -7 or tell you what food it is sourced from (*natto*).
This shit is good. I was waiting for one of the complaints to be bogus, but they're all solid. Good work! Nutrition misinformation is one of my pet peeves, and even among people here who mean well, a lot of misinformation still gets tossed around.
More that the majority are still too retarded to get:
7. Blaming seed oils for what frying did.
8. Blaming seed oils for what hydrogenation did.
9. Blaming seed oils for what hexane did.
10. Blaming gluten for what glyphosate did.
11. Blaming wheat for what white flour did.
12. Blaming cane sugar for what white sugar did.
13. Blaming cured meat for what sodium nitrite did.
14. Blaming calories for what fractionated grain did.
The "experts" used to say that eggs were bad because they contained chloesterol. And bacon to this day is still considered bad by the (((experts))) oy vey!
