Vitamin K is commonly found in foods, usually in low concentrations. People have little need for this vitamin. Intestinal bacteria synthesize vitamin K, which helps to meet certain metabolic requirements. Vitamin K receives less attention than other fat-soluble vitamins. However, vitamin K deficiency is a risk in infants fed milk replacer formulas, and supplemental vitamin K intake is therefore recommended.
Vitamin K plays an important role in helping blood clot and preventing excessive bleeding. It is also essential for healthy bones and other tissues. Unlike many other vitamins, vitamin K is not available as a dietary supplement.
Vitamin K is actually a group of compounds. Vitamin K1 is obtained from leafy greens and some vegetables. Vitamin K2 is a group of compounds largely obtained from meat, cheese and eggs and synthesized by bacteria.
The effects of vitamin K toxicity can extend to the breakdown of red blood cells and health problems as well as anemia from jaundice. May cause brain damage in newborns.
