"Poor vitamin K status must be regarded as a serious risk factor for increased postmenopausal bone loss and for artery calcification, notably in diabetes, endstage renal disease and aging," wrote the authors. Cranenburg and co-workers added that several clinical trials have reported the benefits of supplementary vitamin K for decreasing bone loss, as well as in maintenance of bone strength and carotid artery elasticity.
