Vitamin K (Phylloquinone)
DESCRIPTION::Vitamin K can be formed by natural bacteria in the intestines. This is one very good reason to take lactobacillus acidophilus (friendly flora). Vitamin K is needed to blood clotting and may also have a role in bone formation, thereby preventing osteoporosis.
POTENTIAL BENEFITS:Vitamin K is responsible for blood clotting. It aids in the prevention
of internal bleeding, hemmorhages and aids in healing bruises. Vitamin K is vital
for normal functioning of the liver, therefore Vitamin K converts glucose to glycogen.
Glycogen is stored in the liver.
POTENTIAL SIDE EFFECTS::Large doses can accumulate in the body and cause sweating or flushing.
POTENTIAL INTERACTION:: When a synthetic Vitamin K is taken in large doses during pregnancy (or the last trimester) it may result in a toxic reaction for the baby. Antibiotics also interfere with the absorption of Vitamin K because it kills the friendly flora in the body that is necessary to make Vitamin K.
GENERAL USAGE: May be taken daily.
FOOD SOURCES: Vitamin K is found in alfalfa, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, dark green leafy vegetables, egg yolks, liver, oatmeal, oats, rye, safflower, soybeans and wheat.
