I used to have to go to the dentist every 5-6 months in order to remove built-up plaque that kept returning.

After starting supplementation with vitamin K2 every few days (a combination of MK-4 500mcg and Mk-7 100mcg), within a few weeks the plaque came off on its own when I brushed my teeth, and now I just don't have any plaque anymore.

This doesn't work for everyone, and for me, the MK-4 form alone did not produce this effect. The MK-4 form is sort of like "preformed" K2, as opposed to the MK-7 form, which is more like a precursor that persists in your blood for much longer before being converted as needed. It probably has something to do with dental plaque / biofilm being calcium-based, and vitamin K2 causes calcium to be removed from inappropriate places in the body.

I much prefer this to something fully engineered like micro-robots.

edit: It seems it's not really "micro-robots" after all; nonetheless, I much prefer nutritional intervention when effective.
