9. Vitamin K Benefits: Cancer Fighter
Researchers theorize that vitamin K can help fight myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) that sometimes progress into acute myeloid leukemia. A 16-week clinical trial in which MDS patients received supplemental vitamins K2 and D resulted in a 30 percent improvement in anemia and platelet counts. Research also suggests the nutrient helps to inhibit tumor growth and reduce suffering related to oral, liver, nasal, stomach, prostate, and colon cancers.
