Vitamin K exhibits tissue-specific triage, prioritizing liver coagulation proteins and then activating peripheral calcium-regulating proteins.

“vitamin K appears to have a triage that is tissue specific so all those proteins that are involved in coagulation the short-term survival proteins occur in the liver and so vitamin K1 actually goes to the liver very readily um and that's the first place it goes to activate all those coagulation prot prots once enough vitamin K1 goes to the liver to activate all those proteins involved in coagulation it stays around in the periphery where then it activates other proteins involved in removing calcium from the blood vessels and bringing it to things like the bone or to other tissues”
