The main purpose of Vitamin K is to aid in the clotting process. Vitamin K is important as part of the blood clotting mechanism of the body.
You probably die because vitamin k is important to have in human body.
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.
Vitamin K is converted to active vitamin K in the body which helps to activate clotting factors in the liver. Coumadin (warfarin) prevents the body from activating vitamin K, therefore the clotting factors are never activated and your blood becomes thinner or more difficult to clot. When you eat vitamin K rich foods (green leafy vegitables, etc), the vitamin K competes with the Coumadin and can neutralize its effect.
Vitamines A, D, E and K are the only vitamines that can accumulated in the body, the rest of the vitamines are eliminated from the body if they are not used.
Vitamin k is essential for blood clotting thus helping wounds to heal.
The chemical name for vitamin K is phylloquinone. It also is referred to as phytomenadione or phytonadione. This vitamin is important in the body for blood coagulation.
A vitamin K deficiency can be caused by a number of different things. Specifically, chronic diseases, like liver disease, can cause the vitamin not to be absorbed properly. Also, some medications like Aspirin can cause a vitamin K deficiency.
