Vitamin K (named for the German word koagulation) is found in green leafy vegetables as well as fermented foods. The Vitamin K tablets, pills, and creams featured in the Store can be beneficial for diminishing post-surgical bruising and general bruising due to any injury. As Vitamin K promotes blood clotting, patients have taken pill and cream forms of Vitamin K to reduce bruising. Moreover, Vitamin K strengthens blood vessel walls, which makes you less prone to bruising. Vitamin K creams have the advantage of enabling one to provide a large dose of vitamin K right on the bruised spot where one needs it.
