Vitamin K is required for the production of a number of coagulation factors, substances in the blood which are essential for normal blood clotting. Nosebleeds, bleeding in the intestines and stomach, and blood in the urine are all common in vitamin K deficiency. Vitamin K is also beneficial in maintaining bone density. especially in postmenopausal women.
Fat soluble vitamin which is important for blood clotting. Vitamin K injections are necessary in some cases of liver disease or diseases of the pancreas.
a vitamin needed for proper blood clotting. No RDA has been established.
Supports blood clotting, bone mineralization.
fat-soluble vitamin especially critical for synthesis of blood clotting factors.
a group of fat-soluble vitamins. Vitamin K is necessary for the production of prothrombin and other clotting factors.
A vitamin constituent of the normal diet requiring bile salts for absorption. The liver in the production of prothrombin utilizes this vitamin.
a fat-soluble vitamin that helps in the clotting of blood
Group of fat-soluble compounds which are required for the formation of prothrombin and therefore play an important role in blood clotting. They are present in most green feeds and are not likely to be absent from natural diets.
substance involved in normal clotting of blood.
Fat Essential for the formation of substances (in the liver) which promote blood clotting Green leafy vegetables (especially cabbage & broccoli), vegetable oils, egg yolk, cheese, pork and liver
Vitamin K is used in the body to control blood clotting and is essential for synthesizing the liver protein that controls the clotting.
Vitamin K is required for bone growth and blood clotting. Found in spinach, broccoli, cabbage and soybeans.
One of two naturally occurring fat-soluble vitamins (vitamin K1 and vitamin K2) needed for the clotting of blood because of an essential role in the production of prothrombin (a clotting factor). The term vitamin A may also refer to a synthetic compound that is closely related chemically to the natural vitamins K1 and K2 and has similar biological activity. See the entire definition of Vitamin K
naturally occurs in green leafy vegetables. It is essential in the synthesis of at least 6 of 13 proteins needed for coagulation; it therefore assists with capillary damage.
increases cellular growth, dispenses blood clots. The dark circles are areas where blood has collected or concentrated - vitamin k disperses it.
generic term for derivatives of 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone that have coagulation activity. Daily requirement for vitamin K is about 1 µg/kg. In newborns vitamin K nutrition is at risk.
a fat-soluble vitamin, available in foods and manufactured by intestinal bacteria, that is essential for blood coagulation and important in certain energy transfer reactions.
Vital to blood clotting; may help maintain strong bones with aging.
a vitamin that is essential for normal blood clotting and the body's absorption of calcium
Fat soluble vitamin that is important for blood clotting.
A fat-soluble vitamin needed to help your blood clot.
Phytanadione. A component of green leafy vegetables first discovered in 1929. Vitamin K is produced in the intestines and is linked to the production of clotting factors in the body. Reportedly assists in healing broken capillaries and reabsorbing blood.
Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin that can be produced by bacteria in the intestines. It is needed to maintain proper blood clotting and bone density. Vitamin K plays a key role in fetal development.
A fat soluble vitamin that acts in blood clotting.
the antihemorrhagic, or clotting vitamin; fat soluble.
A highly important vitamin as it aids the coagulation (thickening) of blood to prevent hemorrhaging (uncontrollable bleeding) when a wound has occurred. It is found in all green vegetables and a variant can be formed by helpful bacteria in our intestine. This variant is known as vitamin K2.
An essential nutrient needed for bone formation and repair and for blood clotting. Vitamin K, along with Vitamin D and calcium, play an important role in the prevention of the bone thinning condition called osteoporosis.
an essential component of blood clotting produced by intestinal bacteria. Babies normally have low levels of this vitamin.
Helps the blood clot when the body is injured.
Needed for normal blood clotting. It may help protect against osteoporosis, may inhibit some cancer tumors, also aids in reducing excessive menstrual flow. Vitamin K occurs primarily in plants and is also synthesized by intestinal bacteria in the small intestine. It is fat-soluble and is sensitive to light, oxygen, strong acids, and alcoholic alkalis.
Vitamin K is a vitamin that aids normal blood coagulation. A deficiency of vitamin K prolongs blood clotting time and can lead to hemorrhage. In the United States, virtually all babies receive an injection of vitamin K shortly after birth.
The main function of this fat soluble vitamin is to prevent abnormal bleeding.
A fat-soluble vitamin used in the body to control blood clotting. Vitamin K is found in nature in two forms: K1, also called phylloquinone, and K2, also called menaquinone. Vitamin K3, or menadione, is a man-made form of this vitamin. Vitamin K is found in leafy vegetables, cheese, liver, coffee, bacon, and green tea.
Vitamin K denotes a group of lipophilic, and hydrophobic, vitamins that are needed for the posttranslational modification of certain proteins, mostly required for blood coagulation. Chemically they are 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives.
