A. vitamin K or B12


Is a person with Vitamin K deficiency at a higher or lower risk for having a heart attack?
Q.

A. Research is starting to show that Vitamin K does more than play a role in blood clotting. It appears that it is important in determining where calcium is deposited. For instance woman who consume more vitamin K have a higher bone density and less calcification of the arteries. This indicates that Vitamin K may ensure calcium is deposited where it should be, in the bones rather than the arteries.
Experiments on rats have shown Vitamin K to not only prevent calcification of the arteries, but to actually reverse it. Considering calcium deposits in the arteries cause a huge reduction in the elasticity of the arteries, I would say that a Vitamin K deficiency increases the persons chance of having a heart attack, or stroke for that matter. Some researchers now believe that heart disease is actually a deficiency of Vitamin K, but more research needs to done on subject
