Today we’re going to talk about what causes bruising without injury.
Many different things, including having a fatty liver, taking certain medications, or having a bile disorder, can increase your risk of bruising. But, the deeper cause of bruising seems to be a vitamin K1 deficiency.
Vitamin K1 is a fat-soluble vitamin stored in the liver. A few common symptoms of vitamin K1 deficiency are nose bleeds and varicose veins. The best sources of vitamin K1 are leafy green vegetables.
Vitamin K1 supports clotting without causing over-clotting. Extra vitamin K1 in the body is used for anti-inflammatory purposes or is converted into vitamin K2. Vitamin K2 helps prevent calcification in the arteries and joints and supports strong bones.
The average American only consumes one and a half cups of greens per day—you can’t get enough vitamin K1 that way.
A person’s microbes can make vitamin K1, but if there is a problem with the microbes, you can’t produce vitamin K1. Without a healthy microbiome, you also won’t be able to convert vitamin K1 to K2 or extract vitamin K1 from your food.
Iceberg lettuce is not a good source of vitamin K1, but dark leafy greens like parsley, kale, Brussels sprouts, and spinach are rich in K1.

Good morning my good sir! So, I’ve been on warfarin for the past 12 years of my life, I have APS (anti phospholipid syndrome) and hope to eventually get off of warfarin in the near future. I’ve taken your advice on the ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting and it has done wonders for me. My body feels the best it ever has in my life. I was curious to know if you have any advice on my condition (APS), and if there is anything I can do to help fight it.
Thanks for your time!
Keep up the good work ✊🏽
Dr. Berg has once again been a very successful post full of information. I hope you continue to share information full of information like this. I wish you well-being.
Very glad to be of help.
My friend has ulcerative colitis and his arms are covered in deep purple bruising. His body is obviously attacking good tissue with an immune response that is all over the place.
Here’s a video that may help!

@Dr. Eric Berg DC Thank you so much! I have watched and will show him.
I see this kind of bruise on my forearm once in a few years. It is likely always followed by an onslaught of issues like cold, cough, fever, etc. Not sure why.
Sounds like a dormant virus being reactivated, maybe epstein barr!
Thank you as ever. Timely info for me as I have a black finger from catching a saucepan against my ring whilst washing up. Had this for condition 3 years now, mentioned it to my GP, she said ‘Oh, it sounds as if there’s something going on with your capillaries’….that was the end of her assistance. I already supplement with a high quality K complex so I suspect mal absorbion from antibiotics for chronic Lyme….will try more probiotics next…..
Try niacin.. it opens the capillaries. Has to be niacin, not niacinimide. Have to take enough to get a niacin flush which is the capillaries opening.
Our daughter has low platelets due to ITP (immune thrombocytopenia…..which is autoimmune). Would vit K1 help her?
My dad had this all of the time. He said he had to avoid Vitamin K because it wasn’t good for the heart medications he was taking. Now I am wondering how much truth to this there was.
I have a friend with Ms and she was told to avoid vit c. Why would you avoid something that is supposed to help your immune system?
Excellent information as always! Thanks Dr Berg!
You forgot to mention Ehlers Danlos Syndrome! The connective tissue disorder makes it very easy for you to bruise from little tiny bumps into objects you don’t even remember – but you end up with bruises. Plus they take a long time to heal as well. When I was diagnosed with EDS last December 17, I had a small bruise on my leg from early November! And it was still there.
And I get 90 mcg of Vit K a day.

All topics you cover dr. Berg are useful 👌👍
My mother and father, who were the same age, but living separately, both developed this bruising condition. B12 supplements turned out to be the cure for both. Keep in mind the body only absorbs a little B12 at a time, so a large dose is mostly unused. Also, the meth- form is better than the cyano- form, and the cyano- form of B12 is very commonly found in supplements.
For the last 7 years, I’ve had extensive bruising on my lower legs, from ankles to just below my knees, mostly on the outside of my shin bones. Occasionally, blisters will pop up that last 2-5 months. Generally, there’s NO pain. The colors of the bruises change throughout the day, too, which is weird. I’ve asked several Docs and nurses at the VA about all this. Nobody has a clue. My massage therapist is still trying to figure all this out, too. She’s as baffled as everyone else is.
Dr. Berg, I started your Keto, OMAD and IF protocol 4 1/2 years ago. I regularly do extended fasting, as well. I will try the K1/K2 and see what happens. I’m so very grateful for all that you’re doing for all of us! Blessings to you and your loved ones!!
Hello Dr. Berg, I am originally from Eritrea but currently live in the Netherlands. I found this video informative. Well, before I came to the Netherlands, I never noticed bruises on my body. But right now, when I bump into something like a bed or a couch, I easily see colored bruises. I thought it was due to a difference in circumstances. Thanks for sharing!
I love it when you come on with another video confirming what my herbal research and experiences have shown me over the years. It’s a very welcomed reassurance that I’m on the right track. I love how you explain the mechanisms behind the scenes.
I’ve had to combat Prednisone side effects with a family member years ago for PMR and high ocular pressures. But 6 months into treatment the bruising and bleeding sores were all over the arms. After much research I found that the capillaries at the surface were too weak and fragile. Even the slightest pressure could cause a bruise and then bleeding sores. I made a Circulation tincture and singled out Horsechestnut seeds and grape leaves specifically as a treatment along with Ginkgo, Gotu Kula, and Hawthorne berries. After another 6 months the bruising stopped and the skin returned to normal even while still on high dose (10-50mg) Prednisone. They stayed on Prednisone for another 4-5 years while still taking the tincture but thankfully, finally, got weaned off of Prednisone about 5 years ago. Fast forward to today and at age 82, after ten years of taking this Circulation tincture, they have pasted 2 vascular fishing expeditions and can’t find anything wrong. And the Osteoporosis stabilized with no more bone loss.
Please keep doing your research and posting the truth for people to see for themselves.
Being a kidney transplant recipient I’ve been taking prednisone for 10 years and I have to consume it forever. I am always facing this bruising problem. Now i came to know what exactly it is and how to cope up with it. Thanks sir 🙏
For those of us that don’t eat enough to get all our vitamins for specific things, a dosage amount for a supplement would be really helpful if that’s possible. Thank you, love you Dr Berg!
Dr. Berg, you are an incredible source of nutritional information, I’ve been following your advice, referring you to friends and family.
I look forward when you cover more about the soil, I started my own mini organic garden so it would be interesting to see what benefits that brings to our health… I can already tell you that homegrown veggies taste so much better than the store ones. THis makes me wonder: Is the nutritional information for these veggies (in stores) not really what we’re really getting in our diets… *OR* do the homegrown veggies have a crazy amount, like (who knows?), 10x plus so more trace minerals, and extra stuff because the plant is ripened naturally and grown in healthier soil… The difference is hard to explain to someone that hasn’t had homegrown veggies, but I’ll put it this way: store bought veggies are weak, like watered down versions of what they could have been, and don’t have the richness and fullness of flavor. Then I suddenly understood why people don’t like to eat veggies… it’s because store bought veggies kind of sucks, they aren’t getting the amazing flavors… I’ll bet if they did, veggies would be eaten more.
Vitamin k1 has helped me so much. I used to bruise so bad and always read it was a Vitamin C deficiency. No, it was Vitamin k1. I hardly bruise now.
