skyorbit wrote:This thread said that MK-7 has a near 100% absorption rate.
It also said the max k1 the body can absorb a day is about 300 mcg. Several of the other study's I've read also says that after a while k1 levels in the blood plateau (including the PDF http://www.medicine.wisc.edu/~williams/ ... w_2008.pdf pamojja showed me) so it seems to me there's plenty of evidence that k1 has significant diminishing returns while k2 really doesn't. Or at least none that we've detected so far.

gofanu wrote:(Actually, as I have detailed previously, my retinol intake was for years until recently at 80,000IU to prevent symptoms I was aware of. I have been able to reduce it to 40,000 since drastically increasing my iodine/selenium, which spares E & A by preventing/correcting lipid peroxidation - a good thing I think. Again, I buy no tests, all is based on observed symptoms and logic - 100 % success rate on the logic so far. It is possible that your D3 measured drop is a result of either better utilization or better control of D3 synthesis/use due to A making adrenal/hormone/cholesterol control work better - as will iodine/selenium. Vitamin A alone is involved in the regulation of 1/6 of the entire proteome - the total production of proteins AND ALL their interactions.)

The esoteric hormones, enzymes, and other "Majic Potions" also introduce problems by possibly bypassing body control mechanisms. Further, these things are a major and valid arguing point for the evil forces of anti nutrition - as in who the hell can spend E15/day (or much more) on supplements?. That is over 80% of my entire present income.)
gofanu wrote:Which puts us right back at my starting point of "you must go by symptom" not formula.
Since B vitamins are water soluble, they are generally safe in much higher than needed dosage, although it is possible for too much of one to create effective deficiencies of another, hence the attempt to keep some balance, but it is not generally very fussy.

For you, I suggest you read anything of Kilmer McCully on plaque, and JTA Ely on diabetes, and add in all I have said.)
gofanu wrote:..I found the choline which I had never taken because of cost, but had gotten for my wife in her illness. Adelle said you needed a lot of choline, but we never had the cash. One capsule and a half hour later my feet were again sensibly toasty, and have been since. So you might try high dose choline with your PAD. And a LOT of eggs, the primary source of dietary choline by far. People have been given bizarre diets as 24 egg yolks a day for a year, without cholesterol increase = Lecithin = choline.
What to do – and not do – about high cholesterol
Chris Masterjohn: .. So, the first thing that we need to understand is that there are good reasons and bad reasons for increases in cholesterol in the blood. So, one of the reasons that cholesterol can increase is if we’re clearing lipids from the liver. Let’s say, for example, that a person has nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and they start resolving it. Well, one of the key problems with fatty liver disease is that the lipids get stuck in the liver and they’re not being released into the bloodstream, so once you start clearing that, part of what may happen is you may get an increase in triglycerides, and you may get an increase in cholesterol in the blood. And that is a good thing because nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is not only very dangerous for the liver, but it’s actually a much stronger predictor of cardiovascular disease risk. And this is a currently emerging field, but there is one study that was done in Japanese people, and they just looked at a number of a Japanese population that was apparently healthy, and they looked to see if they had fatty liver or not, and then they followed them over a number of years. And they found that fatty liver disease increased the risk of cardiovascular disease by over fivefold; whereas, LDL cholesterol predicted it somewhat, but the study wasn’t even statistically powerful enough to make that connection to LDL cholesterol statistically significant. And then when they incorporated LDL cholesterol and metabolic syndrome in a statistical analysis, they found that LDL cholesterol and metabolic syndrome, neither of those were even significant, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease raised the risk of cardiovascular disease by about threefold or fourfold for men and about fourteenfold for women. So, if we’re clearing lipids from the liver, then this is a good thing.
Chris Kresser: Yeah, that’s a pretty phenomenal statistic there, especially in light of some of the estimates that I’ve seen that up to one in three Americans have nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, which would really go a ways to explaining the cardiovascular disease epidemic.
Chris Masterjohn: Absolutely.
Chris Kresser: So, you’ve written about this, Chris, what you were just talking about in terms of switching to a Primal/Paleo type of diet and the lipids going up because the fatty liver is sort of unpacking itself. And you’ve written about this extensively that choline is one of the nutrients that makes that possible, so can you say a little bit more about that?
Chris Masterjohn: Sure. So, the best sources of choline are liver and egg yolks. There are also a number of other nutrients such as folate, for example, that reduces the need for choline. So, it you’re increasing your intake of liver, egg yolks, and leafy green vegetables — you know, a general increase in nutrient density in your diet — it’s very likely that if you do have fatty liver you are going to contribute to its resolution, because choline is the key nutrient that is needed to package the fats in the liver and export them into the bloodstream so they can be metabolized by other tissues...
