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.

What happens if there is too much or too little vitamin D in the body?

If you get too much Vitamin D, you can become toxic. Symptoms of Vitamin D toxicity are:• abdominal cramps • nausea • frequent urination • weakness • nervousness • itching • and eventually kidney failure They will find high levels of calcium in your blood which is a hallmark of vitamin D overdose. However, it's harder to get too much vitamin d than most people think, doctors included. Vitamin D toxicity is VERY rare and most cases have occurred from industrial accidents where dairies or bread companies accidentally fortified their foods with way too much vitamin D. Cases of adults with toxicity from supplements almost never occur with less than 10,000 IU's of Vitamin D every day for long periods of time, and most occurred with more than 25,000 IU's a day over an extended period. There has never been a case of vitamin D toxicity from the sun.
