Vitamin K contributes to the synthesis of coagulation factors (e.g. prothrombin VII, IX, X) and is thus directly involved in blood coagulation. Vitamin K is also very important for building the bone system. Vitamin K is directly involved in bone formation and bone health via endogenous proteins, such as osteocalcin, and via functions within the metabolism of calcium.
