Yea, I though it seemed like a lot as well, one of the reasons I posted here.
So he's OK with MK-4 vs MK-7?
He didnt really talk much about, just has a page and a half list of recommendations and on it was "Menatetrenone (k2) 3-9mg Daily"
3-9mg sounds like a mistake or a typo. I've seen figures of around 200mcg quoted for activation, e.g.
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/artic ... in-k2.aspx
Other useful info there on D/K2 as well.
While Mercola sometimes parrots interesting studies and data most of what he is plugged into is the mainstream journals. I find him more of a marketer than a doctor or scientific researcher, he just has his team collect interesting info to support the use of his products which are often overpriced. He also only recommends 150mcg a day of iodine a day which I believe is a dangerously low amount of iodine and is based on poor science.
Personally I found Levys list to be pretty complete but does totally overlook iodine and vitamin A and has selenium intake at 200mcg, which for many, especially those needing iodine, 200mcg is not nearly enough.
