1. Molecular formula: C31H46O2
2. Molecular weight: 450.71
3. Characteristics: Yellow to orange transparent, oily liquid, odorless or almost odorless; easily decomposed under the light; easily soluble in Chloroform, ethyl, ether, or vegetable oil; slightly soluble in alcohol; Insoluble in water.
4. Usage: It is the necessary substance for liver to combine the prothrombin. Vitamin k1 can help liver to combine prothrombin to stop bleeding. As a kind of pharmaceutical, clinical use can prevent and cure the disease of shortage of prothrombin, shortage of vitamin, bleed of newly born baby and bleed caused by taking excessive dicoumarin, salicylic acid and so on. It also has the function of easing pain and spasmolysis and has obvious effects to cure the angina of visceral unstriped muscle, such as angina of bile duct, angina of stomach and pain cause by angina bowel and it is more obvious effects to the angina caused by chloelithiasis and ascarides in bowel. Besides that, it is widely used to produce multi-vitamin foodstuff and also can be widely used as animal fodder additive. The main raw material is natural phytol.

In 1929, famous Danish chemist Dame first discovered and extracted a yellow crystal substance vitamin K from animal liver and sesame seed oil. Vitamin K can be divided into two categories, which are 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives. One category is fat soluble vitamins, namely, vitamin K1 extracted from green plants (such as alfalfa, spinach and other green leafy plants) and vitamin K2 extracted from microorganisms. Human intestinal bacteria (such as Enterobacter coli) can also synthesize vitamin K2. Vitamin K1 is yellow oil, K2 is light yellow crystal, all have heat resistance, but easy to be damaged by ultraviolet radiation, so it should be kept away from light. The other is water-soluble vitamins, which are synthesized artificially, namely, vitamins K3 and K4. The most important are vitamins K1 and K2. Vitamin K is an oily liquid or solid, insoluble in water, soluble in oil, ether and other organic solvents, with stable chemical properties, heat and acid resistance, but easily decomposed by alkali and ultraviolet. Vitamin K is an important vitamin for promoting blood coagulation and bone growth. Dark green vegetables and yogurt are easy to get vitamin K supplements in daily diet. The vitamin K requirement of human body is very little, but it is to maintain the normal coagulation of blood function, reduce a lot of bleeding in physiological period, and prevent internal bleeding and hemorrhoids. People who often have nosebleed should take more vitamin K from natural food.
