An article published by Times of India examines the viral claim that vitamin D and K2 supplements can “clean” calcium buildup from the arteries. The article explains that while these vitamins play important roles in calcium metabolism and bone health, current evidence does not show that they can remove existing arterial calcification. It also highlights findings from the DANCODE trial, which indicated slower progression of calcification with vitamin D3 and K2 supplementation, rather than removal of existing calcium. The article emphasises managing cardiovascular risk factors under medical guidance rather than relying on supplements alone.
