Vitamin K
A key player in your body's natural repair process and bone health
Daily Target:
1 microgram (µg) per kg of body weight
Vitamin K is essential for helping your blood clot properly—a key part of your body's natural healing process. It also works alongside other nutrients to help keep your bones strong and healthy. You'll find it abundantly in leafy greens like spinach, kale, and broccoli. Since your body absorbs it best when paired with fats, a drizzle of olive oil on your greens is a naturally smart and delicious combination.
