Water-soluble powder
Pharmacological Properties
Vitamin K3 plays a vital role in the synthesis of prothrombin and other blood clotting factors.
Its deficiency can lead to a significant decrease in prothrombin levels, resulting in prolonged clotting time, hemorrhagic diathesis (severe bleeding from minor injuries), vascular fragility, and growth disturbances.
Supplementation with Vitamin K3 ensures proper blood coagulation, tissue recovery, and vascular stability—especially important during disease outbreaks, after medication with sulfonamides, or before surgical procedures.
