The challenge with getting this much vitamin K2 in food is that it would take roughly 40 cups of Kale to reach the 45 grams of Vitamin K2 that was taken in the trials done in Japan. The vitamin D3 can be obtained by hanging out in the sun for about 20-30 minutes without sunscreen. Even if your body only needed 1/4 of the kale as was needed in pill form it would require about 10 cups a day. Being a fan of leafy green vegetables, it is hard for me to fathom 10 cups of kale in a week, much less each day.

it is a good thought and shouldn't discourage people from trying to get as much as possible through natural sources though.
