Higher vitamin K intake correlated with reduced osteoarthritis knee pain

In a study spanning 24 months, higher levels of vitamin K intake appeared to correspond with decreased knee symptoms in patients with osteoarthritis, according to data published in Arthritis Care & Research.
“To date there is no study examining if vitamin K intake is associated with reduced knee OA symptoms,” Zetao Liao, MD, of the rheumatology and immunology division of the third affiliated hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University, in Guangzhou, China, and co-authors wrote. “Therefore, the evidence for the relationship between vitamin K and knee OA is still insufficient.”
