Vitamin K is always found in nature associated with the high chlorophyll content of green plants.

The dark green variety of Olive Oil is the second best natural source of Vitamin K available. The
greener the vegetable, or oil, the higher the vitamin K content.

Phylloquinone, the most common form of vitamin K, in your diet. As much as 30 percent of total
vitamin K intake may come in the form of dihydrophylloquinone, but it is less biologically active
than phylloquinone. Dihydrophylloquinone—produced during the hydrogenation of oils.

Phylloquinone is found in some oils, especially soybean oil, and in dark-green vegetables such as
spinach and broccoli. For instance, one serving of spinach or two servings of broccoli provide four
to five times the RDA of phylloquinone.
