Some research suggests that higher vitamin K status or intake decreases bone loss, but it is still not clear whether vitamin K truly is important for bone health 9
Our study suggests that weakening of synapses during sleep contributes to learning and memory, and that if this process is engaged during sleep deprivation memories become lost
