5. Vitamin K Benefits: Brain
A 2013 study published in Neurobiology of Aging suggests vitamin K is integral to brain development. Vitamin K-dependent proteins are directly involved with cognitive function. The micronutrient also works in the nervous system by enabling the metabolism of sphingolipids, a class of fats present in brain cells. Vitamin K appears to help stall degenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's by enhancing memory.
