Is vitamin k good or bad for people that have clogged vessels and need angioplasty?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely to help: Besides playing a key role in forming blood clots, vitamin k plays a crucial role in calcium metabolism, directing calcium into our bones and preventing it from depositing in our arteries & soft tissues. Vit k has been shown to prevent atherosclerosis & has the potential to reverse it, though more research is needed to confirm this. See www.Newswithviews.Com/howenstine/james67.Htm.
