Vitamin K

Vitamin K supports healthy blood clotting, strong bones, and cardiovascular health. It plays a key role in maintaining overall wellbeing by aiding proper calcium use in the body.

Vitamin K is found in leafy greens like spinach, kale, and broccoli, as well as in green vegetables, fish, and fermented foods. Include these regularly in meals.

Deficiency may cause easy bruising, excessive bleeding, or weak bones. Severe deficiency is rare but should be addressed with medical advice.

Vitamin K can affect blood-thinning medications like warfarin. Always consult your doctor before taking supplements if you are on medication.

Adults generally need 90–120 µg daily. Requirements vary by age, sex, and health status, so consult a healthcare professional for personalized guidance.
