The evidence in words
The interaction
Calcium and Vitamin K2 — a synergy interaction. K2 directs calcium to bone, not arteries.
What to do
These two complement each other — taking them together is reasonable and, for the stated reason, may work better than either alone.
About Calcium
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body, almost all of it in bone, with a small tightly-regulated pool doing signaling work. Requirements are usually met by dairy; supplements fill the gap for those who avoid it.
The bigger picture
Supplement–drug and supplement–supplement interactions are the reason a stack should be read as a system, not a list. This platform's interactions graph maps them; the medication side always belongs with the person who prescribes it.
