Does Vitamin K Thicken Your Blood? | The Nutritarian Diet | Dr. Joel Fuhrman

Whether you're taking aspirin to prevent stroke or warfarin (Coumadin®) because you're at risk of dying from heart disease, vitamin K should always be a huge part of your diet. It helps normalize your blood's clotting ability, build strong bones, and prevent heart disease.

Here's more from Dr. Fuhrman:
There are two natural forms of vitamin K. Vitamin K1 (also called phylloquinone) is plentiful in leafy green vegetables, such as kale, collards, spinach and mustard greens, so it’s easy to obtain this vitamin when following a Nutritarian diet.

Vitamin K2 (a few different substances called menaquinones), is produced by microorganisms and scarce in plant foods, so K2 is more difficult to get from a Nutritarian diet. The human body can synthesize some K2 from K1, and intestinal bacteria can produce some K2, but these are very small amounts.

There is evidence that both vitamin K1 and K2 are important for good health.
