Vitamin K Deficiency
It is quite rare for healthy adults to have a true deficiency of vitamin K. The condition mostly happens in those with serious malabsorption or malnutrition. In some cases, people taking warfarin, a blood-clotting medication, may also have a deficiency. The most typical sign is excessive bleeding that does not stop easily. While vitamin K deficiency is rare, you may not take in this nutrient sufficiently to prevent bone conditions and heart disease. Therefore, it is important to know which foods contain this nutrient and add them to the diet. [8]
