Vitamin K does play an important role in the coagulation process. In fact, research has linked vitamin K to two important health issues, bone and cardiovascular health. The link focuses on what is known as the “calcification paradox.” This paradox is defined as the inadequate metabolism of calcium resulting in concurrent problems for the cardiovascular system and bone density.9 Vitamin K may help to direct calcium to the bones and at the same time keep it out of the arteries.
