Potassium is a mineral which helps the body to maintain the proper balance of water. Vitamin K is a vitamin which helps the blood to clot properly.
Vitamin K is a family of chemically related substances called naphthoquinones. There are two major types of vitamin K that are important for humans: K1 and K2. Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone or phytonadione) is a natural nutrient found in green leafy vegetables. Vitamin K2 (menaquinones or MKs) in foods are mostly in the form of MK4 and MK7. You can convert vitamin K1 directly into MK4 within certain tissues in your body, and as long as you are getting enough vitamin K1, you are likely to be getting enough vitamin K2 (MK4 type). MK7 is a natural product of bacteria that live in your lower intestine. MK7 is also found in large amounts in the fermented Japanese soy product known as natto.Vitamin K can:Allow your blood to clot normallyHelp protect against osteoporosisPrevent oxidative cell damage
Menadione is another name for vitamin K.
Type your answer here... VItamin k is required by the liver to synthesize proteins for blood clotting purposes you get vitamin k from leafy greens or an injection.
The colon (large intestine) is responsible for absorbing water and vitamin K from digested food. Water absorption helps to form solid waste, while vitamin K absorption is important for blood clotting and bone health.
Individuals who are on long-term antibiotic therapy and newborn infants are at highest risk for vitamin K deficiency. Antibiotics can disrupt the gut bacteria responsible for producing vitamin K, while newborn infants often have low levels of vitamin K at birth and may not receive enough from breast milk.

Yes, there is a difference between potassium and potassium chloride. Potassium is a chemical element (K) found in nature, while potassium chloride is a compound made up of potassium and chlorine (KCl). Potassium chloride is commonly used as a salt substitute or in medical treatments.
no. But it does have a LOT of vitamin C, a good bit of potassium, and some calcium, iron, phosphorus, and fiber.
The sweetener in Tang, acesulfame K, has a bit of potassium in it. The K in the name used for that sweetener is there because of the potassium. In fact, Kraft lists acesulfame potassium as an ingredient. But there isn't a lot of potassium in Tang. Use the link below to see the Kraft information on their product.
The atomic radius of sodium (Na) is smaller than the atomic radius of potassium (K). Sodium has a smaller atomic radius because it has fewer electron shells compared to potassium.
