Hey guys, today we're going to talk about Vitamin K1.

I've done a lot of videos on Vitamin K2, which is involved in the transportation of calcium

out of the soft tissues, out of the arteries, into the bone.

But Vitamin K1 is just as important for different functions, but they both work together.

So Vitamin K1 is a co-factor, which is a helper nutrient to make something called pro-thrombin.

Sometimes people think, wow, I don't want to take Vitamin K1 because I don't want to

have a clot and I have a heart attack.

But realize that Vitamin K1 also has other proteins.

There's many different types or sub-types of Vitamin K1, kind of in a complex.

There's a protein C and an S, which are anti clotting.

So it's not just about clotting, it also helps you break up clots.

And Vitamin K1 is really, really, really important in making bone.

In fact, if you don't have any Vitamin K1, it's going to be very difficult to make bone.

Even if you have calcium or other minerals.

There are certain things that block the absorption of Vitamin K1.

One is if you're constipated.

Number two, if you have a liver problem, a fatty liver, you have cirrhosis of the liver,

you have insulin resistance, gallbladder problems, because you need the bile to help you break

down this fat-civil vitamin, IBS, any type of damage within your colon.
