Both
vitamin K-1
and vitamin K-2 produce proteins that help the
blood to clot.
Blood clotting or coagulation prevents excessive
bleeding internally
and externally. While
vitamin K deficiency is rare, it means a person's body cannot produce enough of these proteins, increasing the risk of excessive
bleeding.
Vitamin K plays an important role in coagulation, better known as
blood clotting. Clotting is a process that helps
prevent excessive
bleeding both inside and outside the body. Your body needs
vitamin K in order to produce the proteins that go to work during the clotting process.
