Vitamin K:
Self administration of Vitamin K is not recommended - in fact it is
downright dangerous. Any deficiency of vitamin K can lead to serious disease
which must be treated by your doctor and an overdose of this vitamin is also
dangerous.
A group of vitamins that are all fat-soluble called quinones. Vitamin K is
essential for synthesis of several proteins in the liver that are involved in
the blood-clotting process. Deficiencies cause poor coagulation of the blood.
Deficiencies are rare because virtually any reasonable diet provides enough
quinones for the body to manufacture a more than ample supply of vitamin K in
the gastrointestinal tract. Excessive doses of Vitamin K can cause liver damage,
jaundice and rapid deterioration of red blood cells.

Quinones:
Quinones are polycyclic aromatic compounds.
Quinones play an important role in the transport of electrons in all live
tissue. Menaquinone (Vitamin K) is a powerful antioxidant and assists to protect
the body from harmful free radicals.

Vitamin K occurs naturally in green leafy vegetables, eggs, kelp, alfalfa,
dairy products (yogurts) and liver (pork liver).
