  According to the National Institutes of Health, vitamin K is vital because it causes blood to clot. Healthy people who regularly eat a balanced diet typically do not suffer from a vitamin K deficiency. Symptoms of a vitamin K deficiency are nose bleeds, bleeding gums, heavy menstrual bleeding, and anemia. However, patients taking blood thinning medications are required to stop eating vitamin K-rich foods, which could lead to a deficiency in vitamin K.
