It is a human vitamin, lipophilic? (i.e. soluble in lipids) and therefore hydophobic? (i.e. insoluble in water). It is required for [blood coagulation]?.

Normally it is produced by bacteral processes in the intestines, so insufficient intake is not known, unless the intestines are heavily damaged.


"Vitamin K" is also a slang term for the drug Ketamine.
