Description
Vitamin K is best known for helping blood clot, yet its reach may run far wider in the aging body. Julia Kaźmierczak-Barańska and co-authors review that wider reach in a 2024 paper. Low levels of the vitamin have been tied to heart disease, brain decline, and weak bones.
The review gathers lab and clinic evidence on how the vitamin calms swelling and fights cell rust. It maps the paths inside cells that the vitamin touches as years pass. It also weighs what the evidence means for doctors and for daily diets. The authors call the vitamin an underused guard that deserves more study and more care in practice.
