So, what is phytonadione?

Phytonadione, also known as vitamin K1, is a fat-soluble vitamin found in many green vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, and kale. It plays a critical role in blood clotting by activating certain proteins in the body. Phytonadione is often used as a dietary supplement to prevent or treat bleeding disorders, particularly in individuals taking blood-thinning medications. In addition to its essential role in blood clotting, phytonadione also plays a key role in bone health by regulating calcium absorption and utilization. It is commonly used as an ingredient in food and dietary supplements.
