Paul Mason: Vitamin K2 with calcium in the diet;protein: great for bone health

Interviewed by Dr Mariela Glandt May 2020 Vitamin K2 is a fascinating supplement... Japanese, first country to take it seriously Found in cheese, eggs, pastured products like grass-fed beef Vitamin K2 has role in telling calcium where to go: blood vessels or bone Very good evidence that isolated calcium supplementation increases the risk of heart disease in females... I don't recommend taking calcium supplements; it is something you should get from diet -get it from eggs (has building blocks of skeleton!) -small fish, like sardines And you need to be getting enough vitamin K2 also, and magnisium is also important for bones; but, key point: do not neglect the protein (often underdone!) Daily recommended amount of protein is about: .8g per 1kg of ideal body weight this is absolutely tiny! Studies: 5 times this amount without any detriment seen in blood tests Studies: for athletes, starting at 1.8g per 1kg bodyweight then... increase to more than 3g per 1kg: this gave extra benefit the upper limit we have on protein is ridiculous & the business that it is bad for kidneys does not bear scientific scrutiny think about it logically... if you are losing protein into urine, medical response is: -advise less protein! seems the entire world is hooked: "protein hurts kidneys" The kidney is an organ, like the heart... if you exercise the heart, it grows & develops... we think it is the same with the kidney: -eat high-protein diet -kidney will hypertrophy (get larger) -& have more functional capacity
