Answer: Vitamin K.


What is Vitamin K?

Vitamin K is an essential fat soluble vitamin that is important in maintaining normal coagulation, serving as a co-factor in the activation of several clotting factors and anticoagulant proteins.

It can be found in foods such as spinach, lettuce, kale, brocolli, and soybean/canoli oils.

Vitamin K helps to regulate the process of blood coagulation by assisting in the conversion of certain coagulation factors into their mature forms.

Hope this helps you! :)
