Vitamin K

Vitamin K is needed to form prothrombin, factor VII,
factor IX and factor X in the liver, which play an impor-
tant role in coagulation. Coagulation is therefore delayed
when there is a lack of Vitamin K which is synthesized by
bacteria in the large intestine. If the bacteria are reduced
by a large intake of antibiotics, then Vitamin K deficien-
cy results, because this compound is found in very small
quantities in foods.

Red blood cell
Thrombocyte

When you cut yourself and start
bleeding, thrombocytes—one of the
Collagen
in dam- most important elements in coagula-
aged tion—go into action. The initial clot-
skin
ting, through the effect of various
enzymes and proteins, is of vital
importance. Were the flow of blood
a) Thrombocyte plug not halted by clotting, there would
be nothing you could do to stop it.
Clotting within the normal time
frame basically depends upon
Vitamin K. If bleeding fails to stop,
this means you are lacking in
Vitamin K. If Vitamin K is present in
the body but the blood cells fail to
absorb it, then the coagulation sys-
tem will not function. It is impossible

plug at a level invisible to the naked eye,
through conscious efforts, , let alone
through coincidence. This order
belongs to Allah, "the Giver of
Form" (Surat al-Hashr, 24).
