Vitamin K is a family of structurally similar, fat-soluble vitamers found in foods and marketed as dietary supplements. [1] The human body requires vitamin K for post-synthesis modification of certain proteins that are required for blood coagulation ("K" from Danish koagulation, for "coagulation") or for controlling binding of calcium in bones and other tissues.

Vitamin K 2 or menaquinone (MK) (/ ˌ m ɛ n ə ˈ k w ɪ n oʊ n /) is one of three types of vitamin K, the other two being vitamin K 1 (phylloquinone) and K 3 . K 2 is both a tissue and bacterial product (derived from vitamin K 1 in both cases) and is usually found in animal products or fermented foods .
Menadione is a synthetic [3] [4] organic compound with the formula C 6 H 4 (CO) 2 C 2 H(CH 3). It is an analog of 1,4-naphthoquinone with a methyl group in the 2-position. [5] It is sometimes called vitamin K 3. Use is allowed as a nutritional supplement in animal feed because of its vitamin K activity.
Menadiol is an organic compound with the formula C 6 H 4 (COH) 2 (CH)(CH 3). It is formally a derivative of p-hydroquinone. The name vitamin K 4 can refer to: specifically this compound, [1] [2] its various esters, e.g. menadiol diacetate (acetomenaphthone), [3] [4] menadiol dibutyrate, [4] menadiol dimalonate, or [2] its various salts, like
Vitamin K (phylloquinones, menaquinones, and menadiones) Some sources include a fourteenth, choline. [6] Vitamins have diverse biochemical functions. Vitamin A acts as a regulator of cell and tissue growth and differentiation. Vitamin D provides a hormone-like function, regulating mineral metabolism for bones and other organs.
