Transcript

Vitamin K is needed for a blot to clot properly. It's also essential for growing and repairing bones and it converts glucose into glycogen so our livers can store it. Vitamin K is highly concentrated in leafy greens like kale, collard greens, and spinach. It's also in broccoli, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, liver, egg yolks and oatmeal. You can also find it in meats and colorful fruits, but in smaller amounts. The recommended daily intake is around 120 micrograms per day for men and 90 micrograms for women.

You will usually get enough vitamin K through your normal diet and deficiencies occur only rarely. However, a deficiency in vitamin K may occur when you're taking certain drugs, so check for that. The classic sign of vitamin K deficiencies are excessive hemorrhaging, and bleeding. Additionally, vitamin K deficiencies may be a contributor to osteoporosis. The two groups most at risk For deficiencies are newborn babies and people with malabsorption disorders, vitamin K doesn't cross the placenta very easily. So that makes it difficult for the fetus to receive it.

Again, please speak to your doctor before supplementing this vitamin just to make sure that you really need it.
