Vitamin K Deficiency Bleeding

First of all, Vitamin K can be manufactured by the body, so deficiencies are rare. However, they do occur, particularly in those with digestive difficulties. Vitamin K helps with blood clotting, so one symptom of a possible Vitamin K deficiency is bleeding, or slow clotting of the blood.

Vitamin K is a member of the fat soluble vitamins. Many people have never even heard of it. It actually has three different forms: phytomenadione (Vitamin K1), menaquinane (Vitamin K2), and menadione (Vitamin K3). These three similar, yet very different compounds are commonly referred to as a group as quinines. Vitamin K, like Vitamin D, is another of the vitamins that the body is normally able to produce own its own. It does so by making use of bacteria which are naturally found in the large intestines of healthy individuals. It can also be obtained from natural sources and by means of a Vitamin K supplement.
