Vitamin K-The clotting factor
Vitamin K is essentially needed for blood to clot. It doesn't simply, unnecessarily clots up our blood flow. What it means is it aids clotting processes where an open wound is at. When a bleeding wound(either in or outside the body) doesn't stop flowing, it'll be fatal. So, with adequate amount of vitamin K in our body helps the bleeding to stop so healing processes can start,soon the wound will be no longer visible. This is why in the hospitals, vitamin K is prescribed for those who will undergo surgery or for those giving birth. To aid clotting at their wounded site.
In some cases where the body couldn't meet it's need for vitamin K, complications may occur. Like I said before, when you're bleeding it can be fatal.
What else does vitamin K does to the body? :-
