Vitamin K

vitamin Unit: mcg

Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin required for the post-translational activation of clotting factors (including prothrombin) and proteins involved in bone metabolism, such as osteocalcin. Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) is found mainly in green leafy vegetables; vitamin K2 (menaquinones) in fermented foods and some animal products. The adequate intake is 90–120 mcg per day; deficiency is uncommon in adults but can cause impaired clotting.
