What is Understanding Vitamin K and Its Functions about?
Vitamin K plays an important role in blood clotting as a cofactor in the production of clotting factors in the liver. It exists in three forms - vitamin K1, K2, and K3 - with K1 found in plants and K2 found in animal products. It is fat-soluble and heat-resistant but can be damaged by radiation, acids and alkalis. Daily intake recommendations vary by age, but adults need approximately 1 microgram per kilogram of body weight. Good dietary sources include green vegetables, liver, eggs and fermented foods.
