I have experienced painful bone growth with MK4, so I suppose a lot more calcium is needed than what is deposited around the body in wrong places.Really? Should be opposite. K2 should help transport Calcium to where it needs to be. They should be no extra demand.
Yes, vitamin K2 is an important piece of this puzzle! (a Hypothesis of course)
The importance of Vitamin K has been discussed in the "Unfolded Protein Response" post.

I have the same issuesOne of the biggest conundrums for me is how to stop arteriosclerosis. I stalled it from killing me in my late 40s
That's a relief !i think i will live thru today ... lol
AFAIK homocysteine is what damages endothelium. Coconut oil was the single food that sent my homocysteine to its lowest levels (6.8), until I overdid it, then I became salicylate/sulfite intolerant- (still trying to understand salicylate aggravating relation with uric acid.how to stop arteriosclerosis
I noticed high B15 intake causes it (whole grains, organ meats, brown rice, pumpkin and sunflower seeds), and B5 generally helps. Right now I must stay away from B5 due to low B2.burning feet
Just recently I read that carnitine lowers ammoniaI took 1000 mg of L-Carnitine
Orotate (from your lithium) might be causing hyperammonemia.I took 1000 mg of L-Carnitine and that seem to calm the burning sensation.
I looked into lithium carbonate and very weak connection to neuropathy. I am drinking chanca piedra tea twice a day so that may keep lithium from excreting normally. I am taking a break from lithium orotate to experiment but i have seemed to have built up some internal reserve. I am focusing on mitochondrial stuff like ubiquinone, carnitine, pqq, na-rala, coenzyme b complex etc. Lot of neuropathy connected to mitochondrial related diseases. I had neuropathy way before I started taking lithium orotate.Orotate (from your lithium) might be causing hyperammonemia.
I like Liver Care by Himalaya Herbal Healthcare.My liver is very congested too. i am trying to clean that out. the liver is the priority since that effects everything.
Former member Dogperson, who was controversial, thought that B2 was needed to get iron out of the liver and into the red blood cells. You might do some research on anemia of chronic disease.Iron accumulates in the liver, and can just wreck it. I used to have a great deal of liver pain, even a lesion. It's better now, but I'm sure there's more liver iron to rid.
