What it does
Vitamins are substances your body needs to grow and develop normally. Vitamin K helps your body make proteins for healthy bones and tissues, and proteins for blood clotting. Without enough of it, you may bleed too much.
Newborns
Newborns have very little vitamin K, so they usually get a shot of it soon after birth.
When to be careful
- Blood thinners: if you take them, be careful about how much vitamin K you get.
- Vitamin E supplements: take care with these too, because vitamin E can interfere with how vitamin K works in the body.
Ask your health care provider for advice about these vitamins.
Where it comes from
There is more than one type of vitamin K.
- Plants: most people get it from green vegetables and dark berries.
- Gut bacteria: bacteria in your intestines make small amounts of another type.
