Vitamin K

Vitamin K is used by the body to help blood clot properly. It is essential for synthesizing the clotting factors in the liver. Vitamin K also helps build bone strength and may decrease the incidence or severity of osteoporosis and slow bone loss. A small portion of Vitamin K is naturally produced in our body by bacteria in the intestines. The remaining portion of Vitamin K needs to come from our dietary intake. Green leafy vegetables, beef, chicken, and green tea are excellent sources of Vitamin K.
