The idea of a vitamin k cream is not a new one. It's been around for years as a cosmetics utility for helping to heal bruises, scrapes, and in more recent years spider veins and varicose veins. Many vitamin K creams, however, have very low amounts of vitamin k. You can find vitamin k creams with concentration as high as 8% vitamin K on this web site.

Vitamin K has been used for years as a blood clotter, actually since the early 1930's. The Vitamin K cream enters through the pores all the way to the damaged capillary or artery and helps to clot the blood, thus stopping the seepage of blood allowing the tissue time to heal itself. An easy example is if you cut yourself, the wound will not heal until it scabs over. The same thing happens with the damaged blood vessel. It will not heal until the seepage has stopped.

Vitiamin K is well known for it's blood clotting abilities. In fact, it is required for proper blood clotting. People with vitamin K deficiencies often experience some form of bleeding disorder in which the blood doesn't clot properly. This can result in nosebleeds, stomach bleeding, blood in the urine, and spontaneous bruising.
