Wikipedia: Vitamin K

Encyclopedia overview of vitamin K1 vs K2 menaquinones, γ-carboxylation of vitamin K–dependent proteins, dietary sources, and anticoagulant interaction themes—navigation only next to trial-derived biomarker syntheses.

Scope

Explains phylloquinone (K1) versus menaquinone (K2) families, MK-n side-chain length, bacterial synthesis, and why warfarin pharmacology intersects vitamin K physiology.

Evidence discipline

Vascular calcification percentages, VKDP deltas, and GRADE-style judgments belong to PubMed-linked systematic reviews (e.g., Lees et al. 2019 on this wiki)—not live Wikipedia infobox numbers.
