One key takeaway from ongoing studies: vitamin K2 has been researched for potentially helping keep calcium out of arteries without the same clotting concerns as K1 in some contexts, but results aren’t conclusive enough for blanket recommendations. Always prioritize evidence-based guidance over viral claims.
