Vitamin K, or phylloquinone, is a fat-soluble vitamin best known for its important function in the biological activity of several blood coagulation factors.

Recent research has also shown a role for vitamin K in bone health.

Vitamin K plays a key role in the synthesis of the bone proteins osteocalcin and matrix Gla-protein, which are involved in calcium and bone metabolism.

Vitamin K

...is necessary for blood clotting; is essential for bone formation and repair; is necessary for the synthesis of osteocalcin (a protein in bone tissue); may help prevent osteoporosis; promotes healthy liver function; aids in promoting longevity.

From The Article In Wikipedia... Feb 9, 2009

Vitamin K (K from "Koagulations-Vitamin" in German) denotes a group of lipophilic, 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.

________________________

Vitamin K2 (menaquinone, menatetrenone) is normally produced by bacteria in the intestines, and dietary deficiency is extremely rare unless the intestines are heavily damaged, are unable to absorb the molecule, or due to decreased production by normal flora, as seen in broad spectrum antibiotic use.

________________________

Recommended amounts

The U.S. Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) for an Adequate Intake (AI) of Vitamin K for a 25-year old male is 120 micrograms/day.

In 2002 it was found that to get maximum carboxylation of osteocalcin, one may have to take up to 1000 mcg of Vitamin K1.

Like other liposoluble vitamins [vitamins A, D, E], vitamin K is stored in the fat tissue of the human body.

Although allergic reaction is possible, there is no known toxicity associated with high doses of the phylloquinone (vitamin K1) or menaquinone (vitamin K2) forms of vitamin K and therefore no Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) have been set.

Sources of Vitamin K

Vitamin K is found chiefly in leafy green vegetables such as spinach, swiss chard, and Brassica (e.g. cabbage, kale, cauliflower, broccoli, and brussels sprouts); some fruits such as avocado and kiwifruit are also high in Vitamin K. By way of reference, two tablespoons of parsley contain 153% of the recommended daily amount of vitamin K.

Some vegetable oils, notably soybean, contain vitamin K, but at levels that would require relatively large caloric consumption to meet the USDA recommended levels.

________________________

Phylloquinone (vitamin K1) is the major dietary form of vitamin K.
Menaquinone-4 and Menaquinone-7 (vitamin K2) are found in meat, eggs, dairy and natto.

________________________

Warfarin and other coumarin drugs block the action of the Vitamin K epoxide reductase.

This results in decreased concentrations of Vitamin K and Vitamin K hydroquinone in the tissues...

As it is impossible to predict what dose of Warfarin will give the desired degree of suppression of the clotting, Warfarin treatment must be carefully monitored to avoid over-dosing. See Warfarin. *

Vitamin K

Deficiencies: may cause: abnormal or internal bleeding, may be caused by: poor or restricted diet, Crohn's Disease, liver disease, use of antibiotics, use of cholesterol lowering drugs, use of mineral oil, use of aspirin, use of blood thinners, insulin release, glucose regulation problems.

SOURCES: asparagus, blackstrap molasses, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, chicken, dark green leafy vegetables, egg yolks, leaf lettuce, liver, oatmeal, oats, rye, safflower oil, soybeans, wheat, yogurt.

One of the reasons why Vitamin K is rarely deficient in a human diet is because Vitamin K is continually recycled in our cells.

Sincerely, Mother
