Osteoporosis is a very common problem, it is more common in older people and it can seriously increase the risk of fractures. Vitamin K2 plays a very central role in the metabolism of calcium, which is the main mineral found in bones.

Excessive intake of a particular vitamin can lead to adverse consequences. The main symptom of vitamin K overdose is digestive discomfort, including feeling nauseous or wanting to vomit.

 

It is also common to have diarrhea, which is the body's attempt to get rid of excess vitamin K. Young children and people with weak immune systems sometimes experience jaundice, rashes, inflammation, and low iron levels in the blood.

 

Most overdoses are not serious and will return to normal over time once you stop taking the supplement. However, if symptoms persist for many days, it is recommended to see a doctor to rule out the possibility of serious problems.
