Oh - got the greatest book on this ever, and it won't cost you very much. I bet you can get it for postage if you buy it used off of Amazon. This is Dr. Atkins: "Vita-Nutrient Solution". Dr. Atkins was a heart doctor - had a clinic in NYC - didn't believe in drugs. So he treated his patients with vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats and some herbs. So he lists all these vitamins and his experience with them in his practice. I read the covers off the first copy I had.

The answer on blood clotting is completely correct! My vet prescribed this for my dog with hemophilia and it worked great.
