Careful with this I took vitamin d every day no problem for a year. Randomly started getting heart palpitations one week and was trying to figure out why. Got an Apple Watch to monitor for a fib. Was asking myself what changed in my life that it happened all of a sudden and realized I had started taking K2. ChatGPTs theory is that it really made the absorption of vit d effective and led to hypercalcemia.

Stopped taking vit d and k2 it resolved after a week no problems almost a year later.

It should be the opposite, not taking K2 leads to calcification as K2 helps your body absorb calcium instead of lingering in your circulatory system.

Anyone reading any of this ignore it all and see a doctor/cardiologist/emergency if concerned.

Yea actually it was a while ago I think ChatGPT actually pointed out I was low on magnesium from vit d + k2 requiring/depleting more than usual leading to the palpitations.

Biggest takeaway is it’s easy to hit toxic levels when taking supplements so be careful.

well that would imply that these LLMs could be wrong and they should talk to a doctor instead - lunacy!

[boston_clone]

people should actually be more careful about taking medical advice from an LLM than grabbing a vitamin D supplement.

You’re warning people to be cautious of taking Vitamin D… because you had problems with potassium supplements? Those are entirely different things with entirely different risk profiles.

K2 isn't a potassium supplement

K2 is synthetic cannabinoid inspired by THC

I mean, you're not wrong, but that's not what the discussion is about.

There's Vitamin K1 and Vitamin K2. Vitamin K2 is frequently taken alongside Vitamin D.
