Functions_Of_Vitamin_K

                    There are many functions of Vitamin K that benefit our health.The most important ones are normal blood clotting,strong bones,and cancer prevention.Let's take a closer look:

Blood Clotting:Vitamin K's most important and primary function is to regulate health normal blood clotting.Without enough of this vitamin,your body will not produce enough prothrombin,which is vital for blood coagulation. 

Strong Bones:There are proteins,such as osteocalcin,which are“vitamin K-dependable”.Osteocalcin can be found within the bones and are considered to be an essential part of calcium metabolism, tissue mineralization,and bone-turnover. 

Cancer Prevention:Numerous studies and experiments on tumor cells have been taken from the body provide information that the use of vitamin K may help slow down or even totally prohibit the growth of some cancer forms. These cancers include colon,bladder,stomach,breast,kidney,and ovary cancer .

                     The effectiveness of vitamin K is enhanced when it is used with a medication called warfarin.Keep in mind,however,that the research on vitamin K is of course limited and more information needs to be concluded before set recommendations can be made.
