Vitamin K For Blood Clotting

[abbiej06]

Many of the vitamins we take in our diet are common to all of us such as Vitamin C or Vitamin D. We all know Vitamin C comes from oranges and fruit and Vitamin D comes from milk among other foods. However, we're not all as familiar with some of the other vitamins as we should be such as Vitamin K. In fact, until it's called to our attention, many of us aren't aware of the many benefits of Vitamin K. The most important benefit of Vitamin K is its ability to help our blood clot. For example, when you are cut, if your blood does not clot, you would continue to bleed. Without this important vitamin in our system, bleeding could become out of control and cause a serious life-threatening condition. Therefore, you see the seriousness of having the proper amounts of Vitamin K in our body, whether it's from the vitamin-rich foods we eat or in vitamin supplements.

Hi
Vitamin K is known as the clotting vitamin, because without it blood would not clot. It helps in blood clotting, when blood vessels are cut or damaged, the loss of blood from the system must be stopped before shock and possible death occur. This is accomplished by solidification of the blood. This process called clotting. So Vitamin K is very important for our blood. Vitamin K is found in cabbage, cauliflower, spinach and other green leafy vegetables, cereals, soybeans, and other vegetables.
