Vitamin K is not normally included in daily multivitamins, as deficiency is rare. Oral, topical, and injectable forms are available, but should not be used except under the supervision of a health care provider.
Vitamin K is so-called because its name in German was Koagulations-Vitamin. It was discovered in the search to discover the cure for haemorrhage in baby chicks fed on a simplified food diet that did not contain 'Vitamin K'.

Vitamin K is necessary for the production of Clotting Factors II, VII, IX and X. So a vitamin K deficiency could lead to a bleeding disorder. Additionally vitamin K is necessary for the production of the anticoagulant protein C and protein S. Inhibition of Vitamin K function is also associated with clotting disorders though for this to occur there has to be a deficiency in either proteins C or S.
The prognosis for correcting vitamin K deficiency, and associated blood-clotting problems, is excellent.
Vitamin K supplements are primarily used to support normal blood clotting. They are also important for bone health and may help reduce the risk of fractures. Some people may need to take vitamin K supplements if they have certain medical conditions that affect vitamin K absorption or if they are taking medications that interfere with vitamin K metabolism.
