Welcome to VITAMINKDEFICIENCY.COM! This is where you will find all Vitamin K supplements. Vitamin K-deficiency may occur by disturbed intestinal uptake (such as would occur in a bile duct obstruction), by therapeutic or accidental intake of vitamin K-antagonists or, very rarely, by nutritional vitamin K deficiency. As a result, Gla-residues are inadequately formed and the Gla-proteins are insufficiently active. Symptoms include ecchymosis, petechiae, hematomas,oozing of blood at surgical or puncture sites, stomach pains; risk of massive uncontrolled bleeding; cartilage calcification; and severe malformation of developing bone or deposition of insoluble calcium salts in the walls of arteries. In infants, it can cause some birth defects such as underdeveloped face, nose, bones, and fingers. Menaquinone (vitamin K₂), but not phylloquinone (vitamin K₁), intake is associated with reduced risk of CHD mortality, all-cause mortality and severe aortic calcification. In a cohort study in Germany, Menaquinone intake was associated with decreased incidence of advanced prostate cancer.
