Vitamin KVideo Description:Vitamin K comes through in the clutch. The vitamin is vital for stopping you from bleeding to death. Transcript:What’s to stop you from bleeding until you run out of blood? Vitamin K, that’s what! Vitamin K is essential to the clotting process in your body. Without it, even the tiniest of cuts would bleed forever. Vitamin K is also important for bone growth and repair. In fact, adequate supplies may prevent the bone-weakening disease osteoporosis. The nutrient is a fat-soluble vitamin, which means that excess stores are kept in the liver to be used as needed. Because Vitamin K is so important, the body gets half of its supply on its own—from bacteria which grow in the intestines. Get the remaining 65 to 80 MICROgrams that you need each day from the food you consume. Vitamin K is found in leafy, green vegetables, cheese, and liver. So eat your spinach and don’t be afraid to go back for seconds—your blood will thank you!
