In Canada, vitamin K is known by another name. I believe we refer to it as one of the B vitamins, but for the life of me, I can not remember which one. I’m hoping that you can turn that light bulb on for me. Thanks.
Canadians don’t include vitamin K as a B vitamin. Since 1995, the U.S. and Canada have worked together to create the RDA’s (Recommended Dietary Allowance) for vitamins and minerals.
Vitamin K comes in different forms including phylloquinone in plants and menaquinone in animal products in addition to a synthetic form menadione.
The known B vitamins are:
| B1 | Thiamin |
| B2 | Riboflavin |
| B3 | Niacin |
| B6 | Pyridoxine |
| B12 | Cobalamin |
