hey guys today we’re going to talk about

vitamin k1 I’ve done other videos on

vitamin k2 which is involved in the

transportation of calcium out of the

soft tissues out of the arteries into

the bone but vitamin k1 is just as

important for different functions but

they both work together so a vitamin k1

is a cofactor which is a helper nutrient

to make something called prothrombin

sometimes people think wow I don’t want

to take vitamin k1 because I don’t want

to have a clot and I have a heart attack

but realize that vitamin k1 also has

other proteins there’s many different

types or subtypes of vitamin k1 kind of

in a complex there’s a protein C and an

S which are anti-clotting so it’s not

just about clotting it also helps you

break up clots and vitamin k1 is really

really really important in making bone

in fact if you don’t have any vitamin k1

it’s going to be very difficult to make

bone even if you have calcium or other

minerals there are certain things that

block the absorption of vitamin k1 one

is if you’re constipated number two if

you have a liver problem a fatty liver

you have cirrhosis of the liver

you have insulin resistance gallbladder

problems because you need the bile to

help you break down this fat Seibel

vitamin IBS any type of damage within

your colon let’s see of Italy itis which

is inflammation in the part of the ileum

or Crohn’s diverticulitis can block the

absorption of vitamin k1 if you had a

gastric bypass that can inhibit the

absorption of vitamin k1 as well realize

that k1 also helps make k2

it’s kind of like a precursor so your

body also has microbes that make the

vast majority of vitamin k2 in fact 75%

of the k2 you have is made by your own

microbes so that means if you take an

antibiotic or you destroy the microbes

you’re gonna make a lot less k2 and one

of the symptoms you’re gonna get you can

get calcification in the arteries you

can get calcification in the joints you

can have bone loss all sorts of things

now the unique thing about vitamin k1

which is a fat side of a vitamin that is

different from the other fat soluble

vitamins is that it doesn’t get stored

so you actually need quite a bit alright

so next one vitamin k1 is very very

essential for bone we talked about that

and also if you’re on coumadin okay you

can’t take vitamin k1 because you have a

blood thinner and you’re trying to

prevent strokes because that’s going to

create a problem because where you get

vitamin k1 belief he greens all those

salads that I’ve been recommending right

7 to 10 cups of salad per day right but

if you’re in a blood thinner you know

you’re told not to consume that but by

the way if you’re uncommon 10 and you

can’t consume a lot of leafy greens I

did put a video down below of what

vegetables you should be consuming but

another option would be to talk to your

doctor about this medication called

Eliquis okay which would allow you to

consume leafy greens because it works at

a different mechanism alright there you

have it now you know what vitamin k1

does so if you want more knowledge on
