[USER=12858]@Charliebizz[/USER] and [USER=15043]@Gman86[/USER] Please know I am trying to understand this to get more clarity I have few questions to ask y'all. My calcium score is in the 900's the vitamin K, K2 is an extremely important vitamin ([USER=15043]@Gman86[/USER] wrote)in regards to cardiovascular health and keeping the blood vessels nice and relaxed. K2 helps guide calcium to the parts of the body that it should go to. Like nails, bones and teeth, for a few examples, opposed to going to arteries where it can increase a persons risk of atherosclerosis (build up plaque in arteries that can cause narrowing of blood vessels) which can result in blood pressure increasing, since the same amount of blood has less space to fit through.

Is that two different vitamins? also, how much? and what brand?

I have not started the statin yet but am looking at it hard and weighing this out.

Trying to keep a1c down I am borderline, thoughts?
