Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 5

Vitamin K (Phylloquinone) is scientifically validated in its use to support the hepatic (liver) system, primarily due to its essential role in the synthesis of clotting factors produced by the liver. The liver is responsible for producing several vitamin K-dependent proteins that are critical for blood coagulation, including prothrombin (factor II) and factors VII, IX, and X. Without adequate vitamin K, these proteins cannot undergo gamma-carboxylation, a post-translational modification required for their biological activity. This can result in impaired coagulation and an increased risk of bleeding disorders.

Vitamin K deficiency is relatively rare in healthy adults but can occur in individuals with liver disease (such as cirrhosis or hepatitis), malabsorption syndromes, or those on long-term antibiotic therapy. In clinical practice, phylloquinone supplementation is commonly used to correct coagulopathies in patients with compromised liver function, and vitamin K administration is a standard intervention in cases of acute or chronic liver failure where bleeding risk is elevated.

Numerous studies and clinical guidelines support the use of vitamin K as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool for hepatic-related coagulopathies. Its administration can help distinguish between vitamin K deficiency and more severe hepatic synthetic failure. Thus, the connection between vitamin K and hepatic system support is firmly grounded in scientific evidence and widely recognized in clinical medicine.
