Vitamin K

Vitamin K helps the normal healing of wounds by clotting the blood, while also keeping bones normal and healthy. Blood clotting, also known as coagulation, is vital to prevent excessive bleeding and blood loss from injury, and vitamin K is essential to this process, allowing proteins to bind and form effective clots. Vitamin K is found in vegetable oils (including olive oil, rapeseed oil, and soybean oil), green leafy vegetables like spinach and broccoli, cereal grains, meat, and dairy. Adults require approximately 1 microgram (1,000 times smaller than a milligram or mg) per day of vitamin K for every kilogram of bodyweight. Your body can store excess vitamin K, so you don’t need to consume it every day. For those who require them, vitamin K supplements come in vitamin K cream, tablets, and spray formats.
