Yes to the above responses.
We all normally get Vitamin K from the diet, i.e., spinach and other green leafy vegtables.
Those people taking anticoagulants (blood thinners) sometimes bleed from excessive anticoagulation. Vitamin K serves as the antidote.
Also, rat poison is an anticoagulant. The cure is Vit. K.
