We explored the effect of vitamin K1 (VK1) on kidney stone formation by treating rats for eight weeks. Our observations showed that VK1 significantly reduced crystal formation in the kidneys.
It boosted levels of matrix Gla protein, which plays a crucial role in preventing crystal deposition. We noticed that VK1 even countered the negative effects of warfarin on cell viability. Overall, our findings suggest that VK1 could be a promising treatment to help prevent kidney stones.

Prevention of stones
I take K2 in cycles with vitamin D at 5000 IU to ensure that calcium deposits in the bones rather than the vessels. Additionally, D and K2 are advisable for those who have oxalates in their urine and kidney stones.
