A member asked:
Can a deficiency in vitamin k lead to parasites or candidiasis, or is it vice versa?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Vitamin K: Vitamin k deficiency does not lead to parasites or candida. Candida does not lead to vitamin k deficiency. Although parasites have been associated with vitamin deficiencies (for example, the tape worm and vitamin b12), i could find no association with parasites and vitamin k.

Vice versa: Parasites eat the nutrition you take in and can lead to deficiencies in many vitamins, including vitamin k. Low vitamin k levels have no effect on whether you will get a parasite or not.
