Vitamin K is the blood-clotting vitamin.

This is the essential step leading to carboxylation and activation of the blood-clotting proteins.
Like dietary lipids and other fat-soluble vitamins, ingested vitamin K is incorporated into mixed micelles via the action of bile and pancreatic enzymes, and it is absorbed by enterocytes of the small intestine
