The "Forgotten" Vitamin

Not many of us may know the importance of vitamin K for our bodies. It not only regulates blood clotting, but it also activates osteogenesis (bone formation) and can prevent osteoporosis and even certain types of cancer. Vitamin K stops the calcium in the blood to accumulate in the arteries and build up fatal plaque, thus keeping our blood vessels clean. 

Green leafy vegetables - especially kale - and salads are a good source of Vit K and help to prevent a lack of this vitamin. However, if you suffer from osteoporosis already it is worth trying a Vitamin K supplement, in combination with a diet that is low in acidity.
Patients who are taking blood-thinning medication, however, should not take this vitamin without consulting their GP!
