Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin that is required for blood coagulation. The major form of vitamin K in the body is the chemically similar menaquinone. Vitamin K1, also known as phylloquinone, is synthesized by plants and bacteria and can be found in green leafy vegetables, broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, kale, spinach, soybean oil and margarine. It has been shown to be an effective supplement for treating hypoprothrombinemia (low levels of prothrombin) in infants and tissues. The terminal half-life of vitamin K1 is about 20 days.

Cis-Vitamin K1 is an endogenous metabolite of Vitamin K [1] .
