Vitamin K

Those struggling with dark circles are willing to try almost anything to get rid of them.

As a result of this desperation, they're easy targets for any cosmetic company that claim to banish under eye darkness.

Among the many eye-area products aimed at those with dark circles, several contain Vitamin K.

A typical claim for vitamin K, when applied topically, is that it can improve the appearance of dark circles under the eyes.

Your body makes vitamin K in the large intestine, through the activity of 'healthy bacteria'. For this reason, there is no recommended daily amount.

Vitamin K rich foods:
- Cauliflower
- Brussels sprouts
- Broccoli
- Lettuce
- Spinach
- Pig's liver
- Tomatoes
- Cabbage
- String beans
