K2, which the above post referred to, is usually meat based foods and some fermented foods.
Liver, chicken, grass fed beef, egg yolks, and cheeses seem to be good sources from what I can find. Natto (fermented soybeans) is apparently a very good source as well but it's mk-7 instead of mk-4, not sure if that makes a different or not. Same with sauerkraut.
Thanks. The problem with nutritional websites is they just generalize which vitamins can be found in the food. I do lots of kimchi, so is that good enough?
Unfortunately I'm not completely sure, it's much tougher to find good info on k2 than k1. Sauerkraut k2 values are fairly low, so it's possible kimchi is pretty low as well. The one thing that seems consistent is natto is way more than everything else (like 100x), though that's mainly a Japanese thing.
It is also available as a supplement, often packaged with vitamin d3. On the off chance you're vegetarian it would probably be a good idea, otherwise I can't say for sure whether it would be beneficial, but something like 100 mcg every other day probably wouldn't hurt either.
That's kind of how a lot of supplements go though, unless you're completely deficient it can be tough to tell whether or not they're providing some benefit or not doing much, and there's often no generally agreed on scientific consensus, whatever that's worth.
Thanks anyway! It's alright, I eat quite a bit of meat so it shouldn't be a problem. I do think that a lot of nutritional information is either censored or altered so that we keep getting sick and buying big Pharma pills.
It makes it very difficult for the average person to know what the hell is happening. People get sick and don't know that a change in diet can solve most everything. It's pretty sad.
Plant based foods are usually k1.
