Vitamin K is important for blood clotting or coagulation and is essential for the synthesis by the liver of blood clotting proteins.
Vitamin K is also widely recognised for supporting healthy bones.
This is due to its ability to activate calcitonin, a hormone produced by humans, which then aids the absorption of Calcium into the bone.
Absorption of Vitamin K takes place mainly in the upper part of the small intestine with the help of bile or bile salts and pancreatic juices and then carried to the liver.
Vitamin K is found in both plant and animal sources in nature, with high concentrations found in dark leafy greens liver, milk and fish liver oils.
