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.

The menadione core is apparent in the structure of vitamin K. It is an intermediate in the chemical synthesis of vitamin K by first reduction to the diol menadiol, which is susceptible to coupling to the phytol. [10] It is a useful intermediate for organic synthesis in general, as it can be made and modified in a number of ways. [11]

Muktuk has been found to be a good source of vitamin C, the epidermis containing up to 38 mg (0.59 gr) per 100 grams (3.5 oz). [12] [13] It was used as an antiscorbutic by British Arctic explorers. [14] Blubber is also a source of vitamin D. [15] Proceedings of the Nutrition Society stated in the 1950s that:
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 .
Salmon is one of the richest natural sources of vitamin D. A 3-ounce serving of cooked salmon provides around 570 IU of vitamin D, covering about 95% of your daily needs. Wild-caught salmon tends ...
Animal livers are rich in iron, copper, B vitamins and preformed vitamin A.Daily consumption of liver can be harmful; for instance, vitamin A toxicity has been proven to cause medical issues to babies born of pregnant mothers who consumed too much vitamin A. [3] For the same reason, consuming the livers of some species like polar bears, dogs, or moose is unsafe.
