Vitamin K, a crucial fat-soluble vitamin, is required by the human body for healthy blood, bones, and proper growth.
Since breastmilk does not have vitamin K, infants and young fussy eaters can suffer from vitamin K deficiency.
There is a higher risk of vitamin K deficiency in children suffering from celiac disease or fat malabsorption.
Vitamin K deficiency can result in hemorrhaging, excessive bleeding, and poor bone health in young children.
Incorporating vitamin K-rich foods like soybeans, fermented food, vegetables, and tropical fruits into your child’s diet is recommended.
