The same group that conducted the study on Vitamin K and its effects on bone mass density in both men and women gave some interesting topics and conclusions in another study. This too was also posted in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. The study looked at the effects of hydrogenated plant forms of vitamin k on bone resorption and formation. The study's objective was "to compare the biological effects of phylloquinone and its hydrogenated form, dihydrophylloquinone, on vitamin K status and markers of bone formation and resorption" ( Booth). The study found that plant oils that are hyrodenated decrease not only the biological effect of vitamin k in bone, but the absorption of it as well.
