Vitamin K is known as soluble and was discovered in 1929 by Henrik Dam in a study with chickens, which could see bleeding as a characteristic sign of a diet free of fats.
Later, in 1935, it was reported by Dam the symptom was alleviated by ingesting a fat-soluble substance, which was named vitamin K or vitamin coagulation (Franco, 1999). The designation vitamin K comes from the first letter of the word Danish koagulation (Oliveira, 1998).
The vitamin K acts as a cofactor for carboxylation of specific glutamic acid residues to form gamma acid carboxyglutamic (Gla), amino acid present in clotting factors (factors II, VII, IX and X) (Elder et al., 2006).
Vitamin K works to aid the work of calcium in the body where there is evidence that vitamin K is important in early skeletal development and maintenance of healthy mature bone.
