== == Vitamin D, an essential vitamin/hormone produced in the skin by ultraviolet radiation, is essential for calcium balance, bone density, immune function, and proper cell growth. Recent research suggests many individuals may be vitamin D deficient, especially those who do not get enough sun exposure, including people in northern latitudes. Ex: Sun, Bread === === Vitamin D has effects on the immune system, cancer prevention, multiple sclerosis, pain, Heart disease, and bone density === === Vitamin K is another part of the C complex. It promotes prothrombin. That means it helps in coagulation. Bleeders do not have enough vitamin K. Consider with diastolic hypo-tension, parathyroid dysfunction, bone healing, osteoporosis, patients who avoid the sun or are house-bound, fibroids, endometriosis and psoriasis (topically).

on Vitamin D
Most vitamin D products on the market contain hidden preservatives. Thorne's D-1000 provides 1,000 I.U. per capsule of pure vitamin D, with no preservatives.

Vitamin D is an important immune system regulator. The active form of vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3], has been shown to inhibit the development of autoimmune diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
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.
Vitamin D is not typically associated with promoting growth directly. Its main role is in regulating calcium and phosphorus levels in the body, supporting bone health and immune function. Other vitamins like vitamin A, C, and K play more direct roles in growth and development.
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 deficiency can be caused by factors such as inadequate dietary intake (especially in people on restricted diets), malabsorption disorders (such as Crohn's disease), prolonged antibiotic use destroying gut bacteria that produce vitamin K, and certain medications like blood thinners that interfere with vitamin K's function.
the function of vitamin k is to help blood clot quickly when you cut your self, love a 13 year old girl.

Vitamin K is not destroyed by any specific vitamin in the intestines. However, certain medications or substances can interfere with the absorption or utilization of vitamin K in the body. These include: Vitamin K antagonists: Medications such as warfarin (Coumadin) and other anticoagulants work by inhibiting the function of vitamin K in the clotting process. They interfere with the activity of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors, which can reduce the blood's ability to clot effectively. However, they do not destroy vitamin K itself. Orlistat: Orlistat is a medication used for weight loss that works by blocking the absorption of dietary fat. Since vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin, the use of orlistat may potentially reduce the absorption of vitamin K from food. However, it does not directly destroy vitamin K. Broad-spectrum antibiotics: Some studies suggest that long-term use of broad-spectrum antibiotics may disrupt the balance of gut bacteria, potentially affecting the synthesis of vitamin K by the intestinal bacteria. This could reduce the availability of vitamin K in the body, but it does not destroy vitamin K. It's important to note that these substances do not destroy vitamin K itself but rather interfere with its utilization or absorption in the body. Vitamin K is essential for blood clotting, bone health, and other physiological functions, so it is important to ensure an adequate intake of vitamin K-rich foods or supplements when necessary. If you have concerns about your vitamin K levels or interactions with certain medications, it is best to consult with a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian who can provide personalized advice based on your specific situation and medical history.
Vitamin K is commonly called the 'Blood-Clotting' vitamin.
They have a low amount of vitamin k
