The K Vitamin
Vitamin K. Vitamin K is found in nature in two forms - K1, also called phylloquinone, is
found in plants and vitamin K2, also called menaquinone, which can be
synthesized by many bacteria. Vitamin K3, menadione, is a synthetic form of this
vitamin which is man-made.
Vitamin K is used in your body to control blood
clotting and is essential for synthesizing the liver protein that controls the
clotting. It is involved in creating the important prothrombin, which is the
precursor to thrombin - a very important factor in blood clotting. It is also
involved in bone formation and repair. In the intestines it also assists in
converting glucose to glycogen, this can then be stored in the liver. There are
some indications that Vitamin K may decrease the incidence or severity of
osteoporosis and slow bone loss.
