vitamin k2, yes

remember that vitamin k2 and k1 are different. you need k2

also im pretty sure there is two types of vitamin k2: mk4 and mk7.

i'm not sure which one is better though, sources online say differently which is better

Comparison of menaquinone-4 and menaquinone-7 bioavailability in healthy women

Vitamin K[2] contributes to bone and cardiovascular health. Therefore, two vitamin K[2] homologues, menaquinone-4 (MK-4) and menaquinone-7 (MK-7), have been used as nutrients by the food industry and as nutritional supplements to support bone and cardiovascular ...

The current study shows that MK-4 has a poor bioavailability at a nutritional level dose, whereas MK-7 is well absorbed and detectable in the blood at nutritional levels.

Vitamin K2 MK-7 is what you wanna take apparently

also helps your body to use vitamin d3 that is taken in supplements

I'd say it depends on dosage and dietary consumption of vitamin k

what does vitamin k2 mk7 do

@personalityinkwell

in regards to its synergestic effects with d3 and a
Vitamin K2 is the substance that makes the vitamin A- and vitamin D-dependent proteins come to life. While vitamins A and D act as signalling molecules, telling cells to make certain proteins, vitamin K2 activates these proteins by conferring upon them the physical ability to bind calcium. In some cases these proteins directly coordinate the movement or organization of calcium themselves; in other cases the calcium acts as a glue to hold the protein in a certain shape. In all such cases, the proteins are only functional once they have been activated by vitamin K.
Osteocalcin, for example, is a protein responsible for organizing the deposition of calcium and phosphorus salts in bones and teeth. Cells only produce this protein in the presence of both vitamins A and D; it will only accumulate in the extracellular matrix and facilitate the deposition of calcium salts, however, once it has been activated by vitamin K2. Vitamins A and D regulate the expression of matrix Gla protein (MGP), which is responsible for mineralizing bone and protecting the arteries from calcification; like osteocalcin, however, MGP can only fulfil its function once it has been activated by vitamin K2. While vitamins A and D contribute to growth by stimulating growth factors and promoting the absorption of minerals, vitamin K2 makes its own essential contribution to growth by preventing the premature calcification of the cartilaginous growth zones of bones." - Masterjohn
