Any claimed benefits for the use of vitamin supplements, especially intakes above the Upper Level (if set), should be viewed critically because many unproved claims are continually being made. For example, Vitamin A is thought to interfere with the absorption of vitamin K from the small intestine, whereas large doses of vitamin E can lead to a decrease in vitamin K-dependent clotting factors and increased bleeding tendency. In either case, megadose supplements of these vitamins increase the risk of vitamin K deficiency and bleeding, as noted in earlier discussions of the Upper Levels of the vitamins.
