Enhancing the Life Saving Benefits of Vitamin K
Recent studies have expanded our understanding of vitamin K. We've long known it to be essential for bone density along with heart health. One study found that people aged 55 and older with the highest intake of vitamin K had a 57% lower rate of death from coronary heart disease over 10 years—and a 26% lower rate of death from any cause. A 2017 study showed that people with the highest intake of vitamin K had a 22% lower rate of bone fractures.
