Unlocking the key to healthy aging: the influence of vitamin K on the diet-microbiome-health axis Nutrients_MDPI karolinskainst healthyaging aging vitamink VK diet microbiome
By Neha MathurJun 14 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent narrative review published in the Nutrients Journal, researchers explored how Vitamin K dietary supplementation could promote healthy aging.
Thus, there is an urgent need to implement lifestyle interventions that could effectively reduce, prevent, or reverse aging-related chronic diseases and physiological perturbations. Thus, unraveling the interplay between diet, the gut microbiome, and host health could help devise a wholesome strategy to promote healthy aging and decrease the gap between health and life spans.
Observational studies and randomized controlled trials investigating the role of vitamin K in age-related diseases have yielded inconsistent results. Elucidating the link between diet and health, for instance, portion size estimation, could help resolve these equivocal findings from epidemiological studies evaluating vitamin K nutrient intake through dietary recall.
The human body stores small amounts of vitamin K, and its reserves deplete quickly in the lack of dietary supplementation. However, intriguingly, the human body has a vitamin K recycling system that enables the utilization of small amounts of vitamin K in the γ-carboxylation of VKDPs and minimizes the adverse effects of insufficient dietary intake of Vitamin K.
