Vitamin K Can Prevent “Bag” Eye
Recently, medical research has indicated that the use of vitamin K can lighten dark circle in the eye’s orbital area. It is yet to be substantiated as to why Vitamin K, a fat-soluble mineral that control blood clotting, would work as a topical application under the area of the eye.
The “bags” underneath the eye area are primarily the result of aging. As one move closer to the sun-set of life, the skin loses its complexion and becomes thinner, and thus blood vessels below the eyes become more visible. Other factors that may contribute to those unwanted bags: hereditary, allergies, parting, fatigue, lack of sleep and insufficient nutrients.
According to Aja Carmichael of the Wall Street Journal, “ the sun darkens the skin, while gravity assist in marking the dark circles.” As the structure of the face changes and the orbital fat pad thins out, fat and tissue in the area start to droop, causing hollowing and shadowing; for allergy sufferers, the rubbing of the inflamed eyes make bags more visible. People of darker skin tone are more likely to suffer from bag under the eyes due to hereditary causes associated with melanin.
Those who suffer from bags are advised to supplement their diet with vitamin K. Other treatment for putty eyes include bleaching creams, fat transfers, laser resurfacing, et cetera. However, there are natural alternative cures and prescription to reverse or slow down bags. Cucumbers, chilled tea bags, sheer and cocoa butter is recommended.
A deficiency of this vitamin may manifest itself in nosebleeds, internal hemorrhaging. In newborn babies, lack of vitamin K results in hemorrhagic disease, as well as postoperative bleeding and hematuria.
As you can see the above vitamins are very important for your body and any deficiency must by a adjusted. But there is a problem here. Vitamins A, D, E and K are classified as a fat-soluble vitamins and they are not excreted as readily as water soluble vitamins (such as the B vitamins and vitamin C). Once absorbed, Vitamins A, D, E and K remain stored in the liver and fatty tissues, therefore excess intake can cause toxic buildup
