Yes... Not sure on phosphates. I do know that statins (one of my favorite "hates") b;lock K2 uptake and, thus, increase coronary artery calcification. Also, blocks CoQ-10 and testosterone formation.... The advantage to a lifetime of statin use? You "may" extend your life 3 days....

Does Vitamin D stay in your system for days after sun exposure? I mean, lets say I stay in sun for one hour. Im light skinned. Will the vitamin D I obtained stay in my system for days or does it dissipate quickly???
It can persist for a few days, but IMO you really can't get enough sun exposure to keep your D level up. It takes about 8-10,000 units of D3 to be where we need to be (what I take + K2). Theoretically, a light skinned caucasian only needs about 20 minute of sun/day - but should be full body and at high noon. Really dark individuals have to be in the sun as long as 1.5 hours! Almost everyone is D deficient due to lifestyles and jobs... Our people of color brothers and sisters are particularly deficient and, IMO, that is one of the main reasons we see more chronic illness in our inner city communities. Having said all of that, the sun is going through changes (and, the earth's atmosphere!) that are allowing more damaging wavelengths (up to and including x-rays!) to reach us at the surface. Easiest thing for this burned out old doc is take D3 gelcaps and don't worry about it....
That's really interesting. In general I consider warfarin to be a drug you should not use (it frequently calcifies the arteries) but one of the odd things one of my colleagues figured out is that low dose wafarin helps a lot with the long haul covid ichronic nflammatory pathways. I wonder if that's actually what the statins are doing as well for long haul.
Statins do appear to have anti-inflammatory effects. I actually believe that this is why they seem to have any beneficial effect... Inhaled heparin, BTW, was recent;ly suggested as helpful at preventing COVID!? Interesting concept- have no further information on this...

Do you have a reference on statins blocking K2 uptake?

Don't have time to track down actual research papers for you, but they are out there...
