Did you get any positive effects of supplementing mk4 at all?Strange.... On mk4 I was still having muscle twitches despite supplementing magnesium + calcium in decent doses.
I decided to stop mk4 and see what happened about 10 days ago. I'm still experience muscle twitching to this day. Even off it now. What's going on here? ...
Did mk4 somehow eat up my supplies of something and I haven't yet replenished it? But what? Any ideas appreciated

After supplementing mk4 for a few days (this is the only change) I started getting muscle twitches in my triceps and biceps.
These are small, trembles/spasms that can occur every few seconds, then stop for an hour, then start up again.
More of an annoyance than anything, but I want to know what the mechanism is here?
I tried supplementing magnesium in case k2 was somehow leading to it to be used up downstream.
No change after magnesium so far, although I could try supplementing more.
Any ideas of what else to try?
Second for potassium. I tried to make muscle twitches go away with calcium and magnesium for so long and wondered why sometimes they seemed to help but other times they didn't. Eventually I tried taking a teaspoon of potassium chloride and the twitches went away and I have been able to replicate this whenever they come back.
I had also problems with after supplementing with Vit. K (MK-4 from Thorne 2-4 drops orally) for a few days straight. Instead of trembles, I had am annoying muscle and tendon pain. Well, I quit K and they went away.
Now, I take Vit. K only a few times per week topically and feel fine (but I've upped my Ca too.)
I tend to agree with @Kingpinguin that either Ca or Mg imbalance may cause muscle spasms, in my experience and with @redsun that what you are feeling from K might be due to hypocalcemia.

Which. Mk 7 product are you using and how often? Also trying to stop muscle twitching.
Thanks so much.

Thanks. My twitching started after using magnesium. I guess it tanked my calcium levels. I currently only. take Tirosint-Sol and no supplements. Tried D3 got more twitching, palpitations and extreme body aches.

How did you get so much calcium?Which brand? What dose? How much calcium are you getting? I've been taking 15mg MK4 from Relentless Improvement along with a 2000-3000 of calcium a day for almost two months and I have never had that effect. I also take 300mg mag citrate and 4000 IU D3 every day. Also, are you active?
