Are vitamins responsible for blood clotting?

Answer 1

Blood clotting:

2. A clot is defined as a gel-like mass usually formed by the platelets and fibrin in the blood.
3. Vitamins are essential organic compounds that are responsible for blood clotting (especially Vitamin K).
4. Vitamin K participates in synthesizing blood coagulation factors.
5. In addition to vitamins & platelets, various proteins, and blood clotting factors are needed for blood clotting.
