In the crowded conversation around nutrition, Vitamin K rarely makes headlines. Unlike Vitamin C, whose absence shows up as fatigue or frequent infections, or Vitamin D, which is widely linked to bone
pain and weakness, Vitamin K works quietly in the background. Its deficiency often goes unnoticed, until the body starts showing subtle but significant signs of imbalance.
As Dr Priyanka Kisan Pokhariyal, Consultant Physician (Internal Medicine) at Saifee Hospital, Mumbai, explains, “Vitamin K is often overlooked because it does not show the immediate visible effects which other vitamin deficiencies such as vitamin C or vitamin D deficiency show and are known commonly for.”
