The Properties, Specifications, Monograph and Uses of Menadione or Vitamin K3:
Menadione or Vitamin K3 is a synthetic form of vitamin K primarily used to treat vitamin K deficiency and prevent severe hypoprothrombinaemia. Because of its coagulant property, it plays a vital role in helping the blood clot properly. In the United States, menadione is used in various types of animal feed and is described as having a history of safe use for this purpose.
