Does potassium help blood clotting?
No. If your body is healthy, it regulates your blood potassium level within a very tight range. If your potassium level were abnormal, clotting would be the least of your problems. This is frequently confused for two reasons: First, vitamin K levels do have a significant effect on clotting and the chemical symbol for potassium is "K". Second, some drugs that are used to control clotting can affect your potassium levels, so people may incorrectly pass on advice from their doctors about potassium and clotting that only applies to them because of the specific medications they take.
Would excess calcium in the diet lead to a bleeding disorder?
Excess calcium in the diet is unlikely to lead to a bleeding disorder. However, very high levels of calcium in the blood, a condition known as hypercalcemia, can cause impaired blood clotting. It is important to consult a healthcare provider if you have concerns about your calcium intake or blood clotting.

When you cut yourself you bleed. Before long, platelets help the blood to thicken and the bleeding stops. The thickened blood has formed a clot. without clotting, blood would be lost and pathogens would enter.
Why are calcium good for clotting?
Calcium is needed for the formation of fibrin in the blood clotting process. Fibrin helps form a mesh-like structure to catch platelets and blood cells, which then stops bleeding by forming a stable blood clot. Without calcium, the blood clotting process would be impaired, leading to difficulty in wound healing and increased risk of bleeding disorders.
Blood clotting would not occur of the plasma was deficient in?
fibrinogen
Why can not apply methol to a bleeding wound?
