I find if you compare the quantity of pills plus ingredients to products from the drug store & figure price per pill you will find his are not as high as you think they are?
Majority of doctors don't know squat about supplements.

He does this with the ones he knows will be a recurring TS, like the Essential 1 and Secure an C&VS, etc.
@VaBelle35 Oh, that makes sense. Never thought about that. Thanks!

Vit K is generally a good thing but for all who have ever had a blood problem, you should check with your neurologist or cardiologist or neurosurgeon before you add any to your intake.

It's not Vitamin K. It's K2MK7. It's different and goes into detail about it because of confusion with Vit K

@VaBelle35 Since I was replying to someone who had mentioned the complete name of it, I was lazy and didn't repeat it, and since it is the special this weekend, most know what we are talking about, but doesn't hurt to reiterate

I look forward to learning more about Vitamin K2 MK7 this weekend.

Vit K1, K2mk4 and K2mk7 can ALL have an impact on clotting function. K2 seems to last longer in the blood and may smooth some INR values which is good but it is dangerous for those on medication.
I have bad bones and for sure I would be taking it if I could. Not knocking it. Just reminding those who have to be careful.

this is slightly off topic for this thread, but i am new to andrew's supplements.
i was curious to know from long time customers, whether or not the co-q 10 yearly tsv always has vitamin d3. i only purchased it last year for the first time and it has vitamin d3.
does anyone remember if the 2017 or 2016 co-q 10 tsv had vitamin d3?
the reason i am asking is because i'm already getting 2,000 iu/day with my co-q 10 and the essential 1 vitamins have an option of 1 or 2,000 iu/day.
i know that the max recommendation is 4,000 iu a day.
my thinking is if co-q 10 does NOT usually come with vitamin d3 as a tsv, that i should get the 2,000 is of essential 1.
because i am in the house A LOT, i know that i fall into the category of needing more.
that, and i am deathly allergic to fish. so that is not an option.
i'm leaning towards the 2,000 to be on the safe side because there is no guarantee of what future tsv's will be, if that makes sense.

@Nightowlz or anyone else who has watched Andrew a long time.....do they always run an Encore of his programs? Sometimes I just go and record all the times mentioned on my Direct TV of his HSN programs, then find that some of them are repeats (Encore is what HSN calls them).
There have been times when I sit down with something to eat, expecting to enjoy one of his presentations, only to find it is an Encore and I already saw it.
I know if there are repeats of something on QVC, it is put on QVC2. But HSN seems to run their programs differently. Perhaps it is only Andrew's presentations and not others.
Don't watch HSN regularly, although I am trying to default to them for a change. Always end up going back to QVC, because overall I like "our" models and hosts better.

i think you are right on both counts, especially the last one. doctors are trained to write scripts.
plus, if they started telling people about supplements, many people would not have a need to "visit" them every quarter, if you know what i mean.
