Since vitamin K has a large role in the formation and repair of bones, some claim that eating food rich in this vitamin may help in the fight against osteoporosis. Natural foods that are rich in vitamin K are also rich in other vitamins, minerals and enzymes so adding plenty of them to your diet will be helpful to your overall health. However, if you are currently on anticoagulant drugs such as coumadin, you should consult your physician before taking any supplements or eating foods that are rich in vitamin K as this vitamin helps to clot blood and blocks the actions of these drugs.

Some common foods that are rich in vitamin K include:

  • Spinach
  • Kale
  • Cabbage
  • Lettuce
  • Broccoli
  • Green Beans
  • Cucumber
  • Peas
  • Asparagus
  • Apples
  • Peaches
  • Banana
  • Tomato
  • Carrot
  • Potato
  • Oats

While vitamin K is contained in most multi vitamin supplements, it is important to be aware that taking it in conjunction with some other vitamins and foods can cause it to become less effective. This vitamin will become less effective if it is frozen or rancid fats, excessive sugar, asprin or antibiotics are present in the diet. Diets high in vitamin E or calcium as well as nuts, fruits, spices and mints can hinder the absorption of vitamin K.

A vitamin K deficiency is very rare in normal conditions but could include nose bleeds, internal bleeding, bruising easily, anemia and certain birth defects.

Vitamin K Toxicity from normal eating habits is rare but can occur if you go overboard when taking supplements. Symptoms include flushing, and sweats. In severe causes jaundice and anemia can also be a symptom of too much of this vitamin.

Vitamin D can be added to the diet without a supplement through many foods, and from exposure to the sun. Some foods with high levels of naturally occurring Vitamin D include salmon, sardines, tuna, mackerel, and eggs. There are also many foods that are fortified with Vitamin D, including dairy products and even some wheat products, but the amount of Vitamin D in these foods is not as dense as it is in the foods that naturally contain this bone-strengthening vitamin.
