Vitamin K Benefits

First off, it is essential for this vitamin to be present as an agent in coagulation (blood clotting). A person with a vitamin K deficiency will most likely have problems with excessive bleeding.

A second benefit of vitamin K is that it helps with the absorption of calcium in bones. Osteoporosis is usually linked to a person not getting enough vitamin K. For those who are concerned with preventing osteoporosis, the supplement I recommend is Shaklee OsteoMatrix.

The best natural sources of vitamin K can be found in many vegetables. Some of those vegetables leading the list of excellent sources for this vitamin are kale, brussels sprouts, tomatoes, asparagus, green beans, fresh parsley, spinach, cabbage, and romaine lettuce. These are only a few...most all vegetables will provide excellent natural nutrition to the body.

When shopping for the healthiest natural foods to eat in the vegetable section of your supermarket or local farmers market, a good piece of advice is to look for the brightest, most colorful produce you can find, and purchase these varieties. You can be assured that these vegetables are full of vitamins!

If you feel you may not be getting enough vitamin K in your diet, my suggestion is to get the extra nutrients you need in a single daily dose of Shaklee Vita-Lea or Shaklee Vitalizer.
