I see now that it doesn't thicken the blood. I guess what made me think that was the clotting effect that as happened to me once when I went to donate blood and my blood was thick and kept clotting. That's when they told me I must be dehydrated.

Vitamin K is known to be important to blood clotting and healthy bones. There is increasing evidence of its cardiovascular impact as well. For example, one direct, negative impact of low vitamin K intake on the heart may be reduced activity of matrix Gla protein, which helps prevent calcium deposits on blood vessel walls.

The heart effects are pretty dramatic if there is a deficiency....and sure don't want calcium in the blood vessels.
Very interesting.... |
