The Claim
The belief here is that more Vitamin K2 will automatically enhance health benefits, such as improved bone density and cardiovascular health.
Origin
This myth is often perpetuated by the “more is better” mentality prevalent in supplement marketing, suggesting higher doses yield better results.
What Science Says
Research, including randomized controlled trials (RCTs), indicates that there is a threshold beyond which additional Vitamin K2 does not translate into improved health outcomes. Optimal dosing for bone and cardiovascular health appears to vary, and excessively high doses could potentially lead to adverse effects or interactions with medications, such as anticoagulants.
Verdict
False
