It is possible that you are allergic to Vitamin K. If you are allergic to vitamin K, your immune system overreacts to the substance when it is ingested. As with most supplements, consuming vitamin K that naturally occurs in food will not trigger an allergic reaction, but when taken in supplement form, your body may not recognize it as safe and unleash an attack against the ingested supplement. Your immune system triggers the production of different chemicals throughout your body. These chemicals can cause irritation and inflammation in different parts of your body.
Have you been to an allergist to be tested for different allergy types?
