I personally supplement about 50mg iodine/iodide a day and 200mcg of selenium along with a seperate D3 supp. I guess it boils down to cost.

My main question was about the difference in Vitamin K amounts between the two items. Hopefully someone will have a reply about that.

Looking at the LEF.ORG formulas, I don't see much of a difference as both supplements provide roughly the same amount of the various forms of vitamin K. We recommend Super-K only because of my wife and my personal experience. We take Super-K, and both my wife and I have ZERO calcium on the Fast-CT scans. (We also supplement vitamin D3 and both do the UV/B light in winter.)

It is also important to pay attention to Linus Pauling and supplement vitamin A as retinol - because Vitamins A, D and K provide a triad that should be taken together, especially for bone health. There is some debate about this, and the propaganda against vitamin A in the media gets in the way of intelligent discussion. Vitamin A's role in bone growth is to help remove old bone, so that vitamins D and K and other nutrients can restore the bone with new bone cells.

Vitamin A is also a very inexpensive, yet highly potent anti-cancer (anti cell division) vitamin.
