Vitamin K does not provoke thrombosis. Someone got it wrong again

They pecked out my brain again. Now with vitamin K. Well, that is, I constantly explain something to someone, but here I just don't have enough strength. When faced with insanity, the main thing is to ban the freak in time. Some characters have such structured delusions that they really don't have time to refute it even in a nutshell. Come on, I better answer here?

So. We have already agreed that vitamin K may be good for bones, but it is not possible to use it for this purpose. Our body is not a fool and does not always tolerate violence against itself.

That is, if you eat calcium with food and get vitamin D, then you do not need any additional vitamin K for bones. It is difficult for them to poison themselves, but there will be no benefit from excess vitamin either.

Some people here started yelling that vitamin K causes thrombosis and kills the elderly. Again too much. Only now in the other direction. He does not destroy. I will explain.

If a person takes the anticoagulant Warfarin for thrombosis, then he is advised not to abuse foods rich in vitamin K.

This does not mean that a person's blood clots from vitamin K. No. This means that warfarin acts as a vitamin K antagonist. Well, if there is too much vitamin K in food, then Warfarin will not work.

That is, blood normally clots if vitamin K floats in it. And if you eat a vitamin K antagonist (warfarin), then the blood will clot worse. This is sometimes useful.

Moreover, multivitamin complexes, in which all vitamins are packed, do not affect the action of Warfarin. But half a glass of some Brussels sprouts can already do harm. They do not refuse cabbage. They just follow the tables for the vitamin K content in food. Listen carefully to your healthcare provider. Everyone explains this.

What happens if you overeat vitamin K out of harm?

Rather, nothing will happen. It is a vitamin. He, like all vitamins, is just a catalyst for various processes in our body. It does not coagulate blood in blood vessels by itself. It only instructs our coagulation system to work properly.

Even if we eat a whole crowd of vitamins K, and they shout in unison at the coagulation system, it will still work in its normal operating mode.

Well, or let's do this. Let vitamin K be your boss and make you dig a hole. But if the boss calls 99 more bosses to help him and those 100 people yell at you, you still won't be able to dig 100 times faster. Is it clear?
