Vitamin K

Health Benefits of Vitamin K

Blood Clotting: Essential for the synthesis of proteins involved in blood clotting, ensuring that the body can respond to injuries effectively.
Bone Health: Helps regulate calcium in the body, promoting bone mineralization and reducing the risk of osteoporosis.
Heart Health: Aids in preventing the calcification of arteries, supporting cardiovascular health and reducing the risk of arterial diseases.
Supports Wound Healing: Contributes to faster wound healing due to its role in blood clot formation.

Vitamin D: Works synergistically with vitamin D to regulate calcium levels, ensuring proper bone formation and reducing the risk of calcium buildup in arteries.
Calcium: Vitamin K helps manage the utilization of calcium, promoting its absorption in bones and teeth while preventing its deposition in blood vessels.
Vitamin A: Supports bone health alongside vitamin K, contributing to the regulation of bone remodeling processes.
Magnesium: Assists in activating vitamin K-dependent proteins involved in bone mineralization and blood clotting.

Deficiency Issues: Can lead to prolonged bleeding, easy bruising, and weakened bones due to impaired calcium regulation.
Excess Intake: Generally safe, as there are no known toxic effects from high dietary intake. However, individuals on blood-thinning medications should manage vitamin K intake carefully to avoid interactions.
