Self-experiment for vitamin K2 and anticoagulant medication

After a mechanical cardiac valve implantation, a blood thinner medication is needed against the risk of thrombosis. I have used for it Syncumar (acenokumarol) tablets as vitamin K1 agonist (which also agonist of K2). However, enough vitamin K2 is also needed for blocking arteriosclerosis and other civilization illnesses on the ground of the osteoporosis. These illnesses speeding up aging, lower the quality of life, and reduced the chances of the long-term survival. In a self-experiment I could balanced (at around INR=3,0) the synchronous effect of vitamin K2 and the surplus of Syncumar.

I found in my self-experiment, that at the beginning 90 μg/day (or more) vitamin K2 could balance on a shorter time the surplus of 1 mg/days Syncumar (when instead of 2.5 mg Syncumar Mite I take 3.5 mg). Then, on a longer time a Syncumar surplus of 0.75 mg could be balanced by a relatively little quantity of a vitamin K2, first by 32.14μg of Vitaking Natto, and then 22.5μg of Doctor's Best (NattoPharm) MenaQ7. Therefore, there seems to be an accumulation effect of the fat-soluble vitamin K2 on a longer distance. This experience is in accordance with which was found in VitaK research institute. The results of the 1. phase of my self-experiment are illustrated by the Figure 1.

The details, together  further data until last controll (nowdays), of my self experiment are shown by Table 1a and 1b.
