Endocrinologist Pavlova: abuse of vitamin K can lead to problems with blood vessels
Abuse of vitamin K can lead to dangerous problems with blood vessels and thrombophlebitis. Zukhra Pavlova, an endocrinologist at the Moscow State University clinic, spoke about this in her Telegram channel.
Pavlova clarified that her patients who faced this problem had a predisposition to these diseases, but the situation was aggravated by the intake of vitamin K.
“Vitamin K is produced in our own body, and its total deficiency can occur only with a complete resection (removal) of the large intestine. That is, this is an unlikely event, ”explained the specialist. She added that with a lack of this substance, a person could die even if a finger was cut.
Pavlova noted that men should not abuse vitamin K either, despite the fact that women develop varicose veins a little more often. At the same time, vitamin K can be drunk if the doctor who prescribed it was convinced that the patient did not have certain problems and conducted a genetic study, she concluded.
Earlier, the endocrinologist Mikhail Ginzburg said that if vitamin D is intolerant, it can be obtain from food, drugs and cosmetic procedures. He clarified that there are no alternatives to him, since he is unique. Vitamin D helps the body fight dangerous viruses and prevents skin aging, affects the endocrine system, immunity and human sexual functions.
