What does it do?

Phytomenadione is a fat-soluble vitamin classified as vitamin K1. It is primarily used in pharmaceuticals to assist in the synthesis of proteins necessary for blood clotting. It is used to supplement vitamin K in patients at risk of bleeding.

Phytomenadione plays an essential role in the production of blood clotting factors in the liver. A deficiency of this ingredient can lead to easy bleeding, and phytomenadione helps prevent this and maintain normal blood clotting processes.
