			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.vitaminsdeficiency.org/vitamin-k-coumadin/">Vitamin K</a> is essential for making the blood clots that quickly stop the bleeding whenever you injure yourself. This fat-soluble vitamin actually comes in three different forms.<br />
<a href="http://astore.amazon.com/vitamindeficiency-20/detail/B001U9865G"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-14" style="margin: 3px 5px;" title="vitamin-k-cream" src="http://sources.vitaminsdeficiency.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/vitamin-k-cream.jpg" alt="vitamin-k-cream" width="196" height="196" align="left" /></a>The different forms of vitamin K have the same action.<br />
Phylloquinone(vitamin K1)  is the form of Vitamin K found in plant foods.<br />
Menaquinone (or vitamin K2) is form of vitamin K made by bacteria.<br />
The artificial form of vitamin K called menadione (vitamin K3).<br />
Higher vitamin K levels may be protective against <a href="http://minerals.vitaminsdeficiency.org/2009/05/potassium-and-osteoporosis/">osteoporosis</a> and age-related fracture.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://sources.vitaminsdeficiemcy.org">Food sources</a> of Vitamin K</strong></p>
<p>Vitamin K is abundant in <a href="http://sources.vitaminsdeficiemcy.org">food</a>.<br />
In addition, the bacteria in the large intestine synthesize vitamin K2, menaquinone. It is not clear how much of this vitamin K2 is absorbed and used. By these bacteria as much as half of Vitamin K daily requirement may be produced.<br />
The major source of vitamin K in foods is phylloquinone. Significant amounts are found in poultry meat and egg yolk as poultry rations are commonly supplemented with menadione, and some cheeses can have appreciable amounts of long-chain menaquinones due to the bacterial action during aging.<br />
Green leafy vegetables are the primary source of dietary vitamin K.<br />
Certain oils contribute a little vitamin K to the diet, including oils of olive, canola, and soybean. Kale and collards are excellent <a href="http://sources.vitaminsdeficiency.com">sources</a>, with just one cup providing about ten times the dietary reference intake. Spinach and beet greens are also rich sources of vitamin K. These vegetables are also high in other important micronutrients.</p>
