Interesting! I agree that animal products are superior in general. So it makes sense that the K2 from animals would be more easily absorbed. And I avoid soy as much as possible.
I was reading a post by Sarah Pope, The Healthy Home Economist, today. She makes natto with mung beans in order to avoid soy. I was considering trying that primarily for getting soil borne probiotics through food rather than supplementation. But I need to research that a bit more.
Basically mung beans are still lagoon, they’re still full of anti-nutrients and very hard to digest, even if they have been fermented. I do follow Sarah as well, and appreciate her, but here is where I differ. I’m a Weston a price chapter leader and do not recommend grains like wheat (even “ancient” ones). Being able to look at stool/remains of grain/legumes/plants through the elimination tube has taught me much over 20 years. Soil borne probiotics can be found via good product lines without mung or soy.
That makes sense. I like hearing different (respectful) opinions from those within the WAPF community. Everyone comes from a different frame of reference. It helps me figure out what is best for MY body. Thanks for sharing your experience!
I read on the Weston Price Foundation that MK4 is the only kind of K2 that can be stored by the body—MK7 cannot be stored. Storage seems important. You can buy supplements that have only MK4–that’s what I use.
Very informative. And Soy is hidden EVERYWHERE! Most chocolate and MANY other UPF's contain Soy Lecithin. They justify it as an "emulsifier". In addition to the problem of it being made with soy, it is a Manufactured free Glutamate (MfG).

There is always so much more to learn!

That should say legumes not lagoon lol (autocorrect)

Wendy, Thanks for this info! It just helped me to verify that a K-2 supplement was animal, not SOY- based.
Soy
is
just
EVERYWHERE!!
