Vitamin K

Okay, so vitamin K doesn’t do a whole lot, but what it does do is pretty important. Critical in the process by which blood clots, a deficiency could lead to excessive bleeding after an injury. If you are in a career that uses a lot of knives, love extreme sports, or have brothers, it’s important to get enough vitamin K.

In your diet, you can get it through leafy greens, meat, eggs, and cheese. Deficiencies are rare in adults, but quite common in newborns, which is why infants are typically given a shot of vitamin K in the hospital. A supplement is advisable if you’re not getting a daily amount of 120 mcg for men and 90 mcg for women.
