Vitamin K is an essential nutrient that is necessary for blood clotting, healing wounds and for bone health. It stops bleeding after an injury, cuts or scrapes. Additionally, this special vitamin can also help strengthen blood vessel walls, which further prevents them from bulging and breaking.
Experts believe low levels or deficiency of vitamin K can increase one's chances of developing varicose veins.
The British Medical Journal states, “Lack of vitamin K2 makes bones long and thin so increasing height through generations is due to poor nutrition and not improving nutrition."
“Low levels of vitamin K2 result in calcification of elastin, the cause of double chins, piles and varicose veins,” it adds.
