Intestine = mouse, not human
Vitamin K1 not K2
It might be best to take Vitamin K2 at different time than Vitamin D
This study agrees with previous studies: High Vitamin A somewhat blocks Vitamin D

- Off topic: Large dose of Vitamin A increased allergic reaction in girls by 1.8X – RCT May 2015
perhaps due to Vitamin D being blocked - Vitamin A interferes with vitamin D and may be the cause of U shaped relationships – April 2014
- Vitamin A may hinder vitamin D benefits associated with Lung Cancer – July 2013
- Vitamin D3 and K2 combined supplements - perhaps 2016

High dose Vitamin A (black bar) reduces the uptake of Vitamin D
High dose Vitamin D (black bar) reduces in half the uptake of Vitamin K
All of the tall bars are part of the "small" intestine (22 feet in length)
The interactions occurring at the intestinal level between the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K (FSVs) are poorly documented. We first determined each FSV absorption profile along the duodenal-colonic axis of mouse intestine to clarify their respective absorption sites. We then investigated the interactions between FSVs during their uptake by Caco-2 cells. Our data show that vitamin A was mostly absorbed in the mouse proximal intestine, while vitamin D was absorbed in the median intestine, and vitamin E and K in the distal intestine. Significant competitive interactions for uptake were then elucidated among vitamin D, E and K, supporting the hypothesis of common absorption pathways. Vitamin A also significantly decreased the uptake of the other FSVs but, conversely, its uptake was not impaired by vitamins D and K and even promoted by vitamin E. These results should be taken into account, especially for supplement formulation, to optimise FSV absorption.
