Vitamin K
Green Leafed Veg are A Great Source of Vitamin K
Vitamin K, aka Antihaemorrhagic Factor, is a fat soluble vitamin like Vitamin A. It comes in 3 forms which are Phylloquinone (k1), Menaquinone (k2) and Menadione (k3). It helps to maintain the formation of normal prothrombin and factor VII in the blood and thus takes part in normal coagulation. Recent studies show that increasing vitamin K intake can lower the risk of hip fractures and Osteoporosis. Menaquinone (k2) is naturally manufactured by the body by the intestinal bacteria. Menadione (k3) is a manufactured water based version for people who struggle with fat absorption. This vit can withstand heat and cooking. Vitamin K also;
- Aids with blood clotting,
- Helps the body heal in an accident, by slowing and stopping bleeding,
- Helps the body absorb calcium,
- Helps prevent and treat some cancers,
- Prevents hardening of the arteries, which in turn helps to prevent heart disease and failure,
- Helps prevent Osteoporosis and bone density loss,
- Also thought to help against Alzheimers, Arthiritis and ME.
A normal healthy diet should provide enough Vitamin K, however people under treatment of haemorrhagic diseases are prescribed with 5mgm daily orally or via injection. In adults the humanbacteria in the guts provide a good amount of vitamin K, it is believed.

Cabbage, Spinach, Alfalfa, Tomato, Soyabin, Broccoli, Brussel Sprouts, Olive Oil, Collared Green, Asparagus, Okra, Green Beans, Lentils, Swiss Chard, Avocado, Kiwi Fruit, Parsley, Soybean Oil, Wheat Bran, Organ Meats, Cereals, Eggs, Dairy Products, Cauliflower, Yogurt, Oat, Cashew Nuts, Pine Nuts, Chestnuts, Pig’s Liver.
