The dose makes the poison. Nothing is intrinsically bad.

Vit K also aides in blood clotting pathways.

Is that what your professors told you?

No. It's what my independent research has verified.

I don't know what you mean by "kills your heart on the out beat," either. That statement is too broad, and I can't translate it into either medical or biochemical arguments.

I think I can translate it. Your heart relies on the flow of sodium, calcium and potassium into and out of the cells. Imbalances in any of these mess with the electrical conduction of the heart. While true that too much potassium causes the chambers of the heart to not beat effectively leading to cardiac arrest, we're talking in the neighborhood of gram or more not the trace amounts in something like this (not to mention your body regulates the balance of each of these between the blood and tissues and ultimately your kidneys). Example: I once had a patient take an entire bottle of over the counter potassium supplements (exactly 1 gram), it screwed up his rhythm but didn't kill him.
