Nutrition Basics: Vitamins - Vitamin K
"For Informational Use Only"
For more detailed information contact your health care provider
about options that may be available for your specific situation.
Vitamin K is needed for the production of prothrombin, which is necessary for blood clotting. It
is also essential for bone formation and repair; it is necessary for the synthesis of osteocalcin,
the protein in bone tissue on which calcium crystallizes. Consequently, it may help prevent
osteoporosis.
Vitamin K plays an important role in the intestines and aids in coverting glucose into glycogen
for storage in the liver, promoting healthy liver function. It may increase resistance to infection
in children and help prevent cancers that target the inner linings of the organs. It aids in
promoting longevity.
A deficiency of this vitamin can cause abnormal and/or internal bleeding.
Vitamin K exists in three forms. Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone or phytonacetone)
and vitamin K2 (a family of substances called menoquinones) occur naturally;
vitamin K3 (menadione) is a synthetic substance.
Sources
Vitamin K is found in some foods, including asparagus, blackstrap molasses, broccoli, Brussels
sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, dark green leafy vegetables, egg yolks, liver, oatmeal, oats,
rye, safflower oil, soybeans, and wheat. Herbs that can supply vitamin K include alfalfa, green
tea, kelp, nettle, oat straw, and shepherd's purse. However, the majority of the body's supply of this
vitamin is synthesized by the "friendly" bacteria normally present in the intestines.
Comments
Antibiotics increase the need for dietary or supplemental vitamin K. Because vitamin K is
synthesized by bacteria in the intestines, taking antibiotics - which kill the bacteria -
interfere with this process. Antibiotics also interfere with the absorption of vitamin K.
Cautions
Do not take large doses of synthetic vitamin K during the last few weeks of pregnancy. It can
result in a toxic reaction in the newborn.
Megadoses of this vitamin can accumulate in the body and cause flushing and sweating.
