Solgar Vitamin K1 (Phytomenadione) 100 µg Tablets contains Vitamin K, a fat-soluble vitamin. There are 3 types of Vitamin K: K1 (Phytomenadione), which comes from food, K2 (Menaquinone), which is produced by intestinal bacteria, and K3 (Menadione), which is a synthetic form. Vitamin K is important for blood clotting and crucial for the synthesis of blood clotting proteins by the liver. Vitamin K is widely recognized for promoting healthy bones. This is due to its ability to activate calcitonin, a hormone produced by humans that helps absorb calcium from the bones. Vitamin K is absorbed mainly in the upper part of the small intestine with the help of bile or bile salts and pancreatic juices and is then transported to the liver. Vitamin K is found in nature's plant and animal sources, with high concentrations in dark leafy green vegetables, liver, milk and fish liver oils.
