Vitamin K benefits

The center explained that vitamin K prevents deposits in the blood vessels, and thus prevents atherosclerosis, which raises the risk of life-threatening cardiovascular diseases.

Vitamin K is also very important for bone health;

As it works to provide calcium to the bones from the blood, and thus it contributes to the prevention of osteoporosis.

Vitamin K also helps prevent cancer, particularly leukemia and liver cancer.
