Default what is wrong with vitamin K?

I went to get some vitamins and the Kroger brand says on the bottle in
fairly big letters: Vitamin K free.

Did I miss something?

Some people shouldn't have it. It makes the blood thicker.

If you are, e.g., someone taking blood thinners and your blood gets too
thin, Vitamin K is one of the things they'll give you. We had this
happen with my late father towards the end of his life - he'd go into
the hospital for something, they'd decide his blood needed to be
thinner, then he'd come home and be black and blue everywhere, and we'd
take him back to the hospital where they'd give him Vitamin K to
stabilize him and then they'd try to reduce the amount of blood thinner
he was taking.

That could be. Perhaps then if you have a propensity for blood clots you
shouldn't take it? I was told by one Dr. not to take it.

I don't think anyone is supposed to take it under normal circumstances.
Generally speaking, having blood that's too thin isn't a common
condition - the problem, and the subsequent need for Vitamin K, seems to
be brought on by blood thinning medications. This, at least, has been
my experience with this subject.

I took it for dark circles under my eyes. It didn't help. I had read
somewhere that it would.

I noticed my old bottle of multi-vitamin lists vitamin K. Says has 30% of
RDA.

Same thing with food, but they don't label fresh food.

OMG it was not long before that myth reared it's ugly head!

Get it straight folks! Coagulaton is NOT viscosity! Vitamin K is a fat
soluble vitamin integral to a particular branch of the coagulation
tree, and is the one that coumadin acts on to slow coagulation. But
blood thickness or viscosity is not affected!!! So the blood is not
thicker or thinner than it ever was. Only the blood's rate of
coagulation is affected.

I thought that bruising was a danger sign. Wouldn't that be a sign
that the blood was thin enough to move through cell walls?
Enlighten me.

Blood does not normally move through cell membranes. Human (and all
animal) cells contain membranes not cell walls. Only plant cells
contain a cell wall. The blood flows through a closed vessel system
but does not enter or leave other body spaces. Bruising is when the
blood does not clot as quickly and thus may leak into interstitial
spaces (in between the cells). Vitamin K levels affect one particular
path in the clotting cascade and it's the step coumadin operates on
too. So too much VitK negates the coumadin's effectiveness and
actually speeds up coagulation! (So does eating a large spinach
salad!)

Asparagus, spinach, Brussels Sprouts, pickles, parsley, green onions,
etc. At lot of stuff is on the no-no list.

People taking blood thinners need to know this.

I think vitamin K is used to cure cancer. The medical mafia does not want to cure profit. They want to treat it. More Americans are killed by the shitbag doctors than any enemy we have had. This is a new enemy that deprives non zionists of life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Exterminate the capitalist medical association.

There are a small number of nutrients that get put in supplements that
are fat soluble. Most of the nutrients are water soluble. Take extra
of the water soluble ones and the excess is ****ed out. Take extra of
the fat soluble ones and they build up in body fat. Can end up stored
at toxic levels.

The fat soluble ones are K, E, A, D pehaps others.

You'll also find iron free supplements because many men have a disorder
that causes their bodies to store iron. If you've donated blood you may
remember them taking a drop and testing it for iron. The test is for
either too little or too much.
