In this video I have explained all the high yield points about vitamin K. I have explained the sources of vitamin K1 phylloquinone, vitamin K2 menaquinone, vitamin K3 menadione. The major sources are green leafy vegetables like spinach, significant source of vitamin K is bacterial flora. Main function of vitamin K is post translational carboxylation of glutamate to make gla. Clotting factors activation, activation of protein C and protein S, matrix gla proteins, osteocalcin in osteobalsts. Vitamin K helps in clotting process, bone health, preventing atherosclerosis and thrombosis. Vitamin K deficiency can lead to hemorrhagic disease of newborn or excess bleeding adults.
Let me introduce myself to you!!
