Ever heard of a cereal called Special K?
Well, the K about which we’re going to speak in this short article is special in its own right, and that’s as a vitamin.
See, vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin that comes in two forms:*
- Phylloquinone
- Menaquinones
Now the first form is found in green leafy vegetables (spinach, kale, etc.) and the second form is found in fermented foods and some animal-based foods.*
What vitamin K primarily does for humans is help to make various proteins that are needed for blood clotting and the building of our bones.*
There is also a vitamin K-dependent protein called prothrombin that is directly involved with blood clotting, as well as osteocalcin, another vitamin K-dependent protein, that helps us produce healthy bone tissue.*
