Vitamin K and constipation
-
Hi all,
I have taken vitamin K2 in the form of idealab kuinone (1 drop on the wrist before bed) and noticed really great effects on my metabolism, increased pulse and temps, shiny teeth, better mood and great sleep. However, even if I take only one drop for one day or two, It really makes me severely constipated. Does anyone know why? Should I increase my magnesium ( I take magnoil every now and then) or supplement with calcium ( I usually drink only 2-3 glasses of milk per day)?
Many thanks for your help! -

I have the same issue -
I think that magnesium would be your best bet for constipation. Which form you take is up to you. I prefer mag-malate from Seeking Health. I found it mentioned as having no excipients on the toxinless site. Mag-glycinate tastes awful to me, and would get too clumpy. I haven’t tried the Mag-oil but I’m sure you can find a wealth of reviews in the thread that their site would link you to on that product page.
I believe calcium is generally considered a cause of constipation, so I don’t know that upping it would help any. With that being said, calcium, magnesium, and K all work together and most people seem deficient across the board, so upping them all in moderation could be a good thing if you’re already seeing results from the K2
