[The role of vitamin K in the metabolism of connective tissue biopolymers (review)]. - PubMed - NCBI

Metabolism of connective tissue biopolymers was studied under conditions of various content of vitamin K in the body. The data obtained suggest the existence of a new metabolic effect of vitamin K--its participation as an allosteric activator in regulation of glucosamine synthetase (EC 5.3.1.19). The anabolic effect of vitamin K on connective tissue is apparently related to an increase in the rate of biosynthesis of glucosamine-6-phosphate--general precursor of glycosaminoglycans, glycoproteins and hexosamine-containing glycolipids.

Its probably one reason(i believe its the main one) vitamin k is protective against bleeding after aspirin usage


[Antagonism between the action of sodium salicylate and vikasol on the wall of the stomach]. - PubMed - NCBI

Its same author of the first study ; many connective tissue related studies and multiple ones have vitamin k mentioned.


Unfortunately i cant find full paper of neither of them.
This means vitamin K can help people with leaky gut. Increasing the strength of the wall of the stomach improves digestion and allows less toxins to enter the body.
