what does vitamin k do for the body? Vitamin K is needed by the liver to make certain blood-clotting factors, so if somebody is deficient in the vitamin then they may bleed very easily. Dietary vitamin K comes from green vegetables, although under normal circumstances the body can produce as much as it needs - it's synthesized by the 'healthy' bacteria which live in the large intestine; but vitamin K deficiency can occur when these bacteria get killed off by antibiotics, or if a person has diarrhoea or is using laxatives and the large intestine gets emptied too quickly for the vitamin to be absorbed.

What vitamin destroy vitamin K in the intestines?
Vitamin K is not destroyed by any specific vitamin in the intestines. However, certain medications or substances can interfere with the absorption or utilization of vitamin K in the body. These include: Vitamin K antagonists: Medications such as warfarin (Coumadin) and other anticoagulants work by inhibiting the function of vitamin K in the clotting process. They interfere with the activity of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors, which can reduce the blood's ability to clot effectively. However, they do not destroy vitamin K itself. Orlistat: Orlistat is a medication used for weight loss that works by blocking the absorption of dietary fat. Since vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin, the use of orlistat may potentially reduce the absorption of vitamin K from food. However, it does not directly destroy vitamin K. Broad-spectrum antibiotics: Some studies suggest that long-term use of broad-spectrum antibiotics may disrupt the balance of gut bacteria, potentially affecting the synthesis of vitamin K by the intestinal bacteria. This could reduce the availability of vitamin K in the body, but it does not destroy vitamin K. It's important to note that these substances do not destroy vitamin K itself but rather interfere with its utilization or absorption in the body. Vitamin K is essential for blood clotting, bone health, and other physiological functions, so it is important to ensure an adequate intake of vitamin K-rich foods or supplements when necessary. If you have concerns about your vitamin K levels or interactions with certain medications, it is best to consult with a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian who can provide personalized advice based on your specific situation and medical history.
