Vitamin K

Vitamin K is a very important vitamin in the structure of bones, whether regeneration is needed, maintenance, or growth.  Many animal product distributors recommend the consumption of dairy products for vitamin K but this is hardly the best source.  Vitamin K is more important in bone formation than calcium!  People must understand how to keep their take of vitamin K adequate to prevent their demise for in the vitamin K rich foods lie the foods that prevent blood clotting and kidney damage which eventually lead to prescription blood thinners.  People on blood thinners, it is unfortunately too late to use vitamin K foods so actually avoid these foods if you are on blood thinners!  The other importance of vitamin k is that supplements do NOT work.  You must eat the foods below to have enough vitamin K.  For women wanting to make a baby you MUST eat these foods for the health of your baby.
