Detailed explanation-1: -Based on these results, it has been suggested that intestinal bacteria contribute to maintenance of vit K. Vit K gets absorbed by the enterocytes of the small intestine and is dependent on bile, pancreatic enzymes and the dietary fat content.
Detailed explanation-2: -The colon houses trillions of bacteria that protect our gut and produce vitamins. The bacteria in the colon produce substantial amounts of vitamins by fermentation. Vitamin K and B vitamins, including biotin, are produced by the colonic bacteria. These vitamins are then absorbed into the blood.
Detailed explanation-3: -Your microbiota also work as vitamin-production plants. Bacteria in the gut synthesize vitamins, and those that they don’t use are excreted to benefit their host. In humans, gut bacteria secrete vitamin B12 and a less familiar micronutrient called vitamin K.
