 Vit K is naturally found in many green veggies but most people don't get 
 enough. Basically, it prevents calcium buildup in the vascular system and 
 puts the calcium where it belongs - in the bones. (not too much in one's 
 brain or arteries.).

 Although heavy metals can cause acute toxic death and severe problems 
 especially in the young (e.g. lead poisoning); the culprit for aging people 
 is calcium - too much of it in the wrong places.  Natto K7 (that's a brand 
 name) will take care of that problem.
 ..
 A misguided approach would be to take more calcium than needed, which is what 
 many women do, thinking this will offset osteoporosis. Not necessarily. Could 
 cause hardening of the arteries.  Look what is does to ordinary pipes.

  I rarely buy or read books, but I have purchased three books in recent 
  months. Two are about cooking grass-fed meat, and the third is Wild 
  Fermentation, which is all about making cultured/fermented foods.

Excellent!...I devour each issue of LEF cover to cover. Latest issue features 
Astaxanthin, a very powerful carotenoid found in crustaceans such as krill. 
Other carotenoids (fat soluble btw) would be beta carotene, lutein (marigolds 
and greens), and lycopene (tomatoes).
