Vitamin_K2/100

Vitamin K is short for “coagulation vitamin” - named after its effect in maintaining blood clotting. For half a century, scientists assumed that the only function of vitamin K in the body was the formation of blood clotting factors. In the meantime, the vitamin has been shown to play a further role in the organism. It is also involved in the formation of substances that are important for bone metabolism and the mineralization of bones.
