Vitamin K acts primarily in blood clotting, where its presence can make the difference between life and
death. More than a dozen different proteins and the mineral calcium are involved in making a blood

the metabolism of bone proteins, most notably osteocalcin. Without vitamin K, osteocalcin cannot bind
to the minerals that normally form bones, resulting in poor bone mineralization.
