Vitamin K
Vitamin K information is one of the least written about topics for vitamins. It is not considered an antioxidant and this may be one of the reasons we do not see much vitamin k information. It is also possible that we do not see much vitamin K information because it has more specific tasks versus something like vitamin C that has a very broad range of functions.

Vitamin K is needed for the production of prothrombin, which is necessary for blood clotting. It is also essential for bone formation and repair. Vitamin K does this by helping the body to transport calcium, which is one of the very important minerals. Vitamin K promotes a healthy liver by aiding in the converting of glucose into glycogen for storage in the liver. Vitamin K may increase resistance in children for infection and helps to prevent cancers that target the inner linings of the organs.

Source of Vitamin K
Sources of Vitamin K include leafy green vegetables, such as, spinach, kale, collards and broccoli. Keep in mind when looking for sources of vitamin K in foods, the greener the vegetable, the more Vitamin K the vegetable has. Other sources of Vitamin K include soybean oil, olive oil, cottonseed oil and canola oil.

Important: those taking antibiotics have a larger need for Vitamin K. Vitamin K is synthesized by bacteria in the intestines. Hence, taking antibiotics, which kill the bacteria, harm the digestion of vitamin K.

Vitamin K Creams
Several nutrition companies have developed Vitamin K Creams. Vitamin K creams are used to deeply nourish the skin. More specifically, Vitamin K creams help reduce redness in the skin, reduce the appearance of spider veins, and reduce the appearance of bruises. “Vitamin K Crème Plus” by Jason Natural Products is a magnificient Vitamin K cream.
