Well, Vitamin K acts as a blood clotting agent. What that means is that, when you get a cut, vitamin K helps stop the bleeding.
On account of this, a Vitamin K deficiency would cause people to bleed and bruise more easily, and when they did bleed, they would have trouble stopping the bleeding.
Vitamin K deficiency, however, is very rare. Since Vitamin K is abundant in a person's diet, deficiencies really only occur when the person can't absorb the vitamin from their intestines.
Vitamin K deficiency is extremely rare in healthy adults. Cases of deficiency usually only occur in individuals with malabsorption problems, severe liver damage or disease, or those being treated with drugs that interfere with the vitamin's metabolism. Your health care professional will let you know if you fall into one of these categories. The main symptoms in these cases are that blood doesn't coagulate normally and you can experience increased bruising.
Infants born in the United States and Canada routinely receive a dose of vitamin K at birth (usually 0.5-1.0 mg intramuscularly or 2.0 mg orally within 6 hours of birth). This is because infants are usually born with poor vitamin K status and low amounts of clotting factors, thus increasing the risk of bleeding during the first few weeks. In addition, their immature intestines cannot produce vitamin K. Exclusively breastfed infants receive low amounts of vitamin K from human milk.

you will not feel as well as you should.
Your blood will not clot
Vitamin K is needed to make clotting proteins. Without enough vitamin K, blood clotting becomes less effective. In infants, vitamin K deficiency leads to hemorrhagic disease of the newborn, a bleeding disorder. It is uncommon for adults to develop Vitamin K deficiency because it is found in many foods and is produced by bacteria in the intestines.
