Exploring the Link Between Vitamin K and Depression: A Systematic Review by Mohamad Hisham Hashim, Nik Nasihah Nik Ramli, Siti Nur Atiqah Zulaikah Nasarudin, Maisarah Abdul Mutalib, Muhammad Najib Mohamad Alwi, Aswir Abd Rashed, Rajesh Ramasamy

“…<i>Conclusions:</i> While preliminary findings suggest a potential role for vitamin K in pathways relevant to depression, the current evidence is limited by cross-sectional designs, lack of isoform-specific analyses, and the absence of depression-focused preclinical models. Mechanisms including inflammation reduction, oxidative stress modulation, sphingolipid regulation, and vitamin K-dependent protein signaling (e.g., GAS6 and osteocalcin) were discussed based on indirect evidence and require further investigation in depression-specific contexts.…”
