Explanation:

Vitamin K is the vitamin that is needed for blood to clot.

However, it's a bit of a misnomer to look at Vitamin K as a single thing. There are 2 naturally occurring versions of the vitamin:

Vitamin `K_1` comes from eating leafy greens.

Vitamin `K_2` comes from both the eating of meat, cheese, and eggs, and also comes from the gut when intestinal bacteria convert `K_1` into `K_2`.
