Sounds pretty reasonable to me.
RE: Vitamin K2 (MK7, 100-200 mcg)
If there is a vitamin K-insufficiency, then yes, but on the other hand, "At this point, researchers have yet to determine if vitamin K1 or vitamin K2 are equally responsible for clotting or if one is any more effective than the other when it comes to blood clotting."
https://health.clevelandclinic.org/vitamin-k2 So, if a person is on blood thinners, then Houston, we have a potential problem.
Also, "Vitamin K2 is a fat-soluble nutrient that helps manage calcium in the body, directing it toward your bones and teeth while helping to keep it from building up in your artery walls. It comes from animal products, fermented foods, and gut bacteria." So here, gut bacteria is involved, and which ones is the question, and how much. Gut bacteria is not fully understood, and each of us have different "blends" of them....the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly ones.
John B. Goodenough was still a university professor at University of Texas at Austin when he died (100 years old) . My great grandfather died at 98 on 11 Jan 1956. Thomas Hobbes, the famous English philosopher lived to be 91 years old (1588–1679). Multivitamins were available in the late 1950s, but good nutrition was relevant in these people's lives.
Problem here is knowing if we have an insufficiency, and if our human 'machinery' is capable of a long life. If we have 'bad' gut bacteria, I suspect a shorter lifespan. Sidenote: "Identical (Monozygotic) Twins: On average, identical twins die more than 10 to 14 years apart"
