Daily Beast post about how SNL's Wario loves the Vitamin K.
...Which could explain a whole lot of that, now that I think about it.
Also, if any of this is true, he is apparently having a big sulk in a dark room because he is bad at running businesses, actually, and everyone hates him.
Here is an observation from one of his unnamed "colleagues":
Tumblr media
Far be it from me to tease a depressed drug-addict who may be on the spectrum, but...
No, he's a billionaire and an asshole and almost certainly racist and sexist.
I'm not making fun of him for the real personal issues he has. But I will certainly continue to make fun of him for all his general awfulness.
Step back and get help, Elon. You stupid piece of shit.

Cruciferous vegetables like brussels sprouts, broccoli, and cabbage are all the same plant! 十字花科蔬菜,如抱子甘蓝、西兰花和卷心菜,都是同一种植物! (Shízì huā kē shūcài, rú bào zǐ gānlán, xī lánhuā hé juǎnxīncài, dōu shì tóngyī zhòng zhíwù!)

Phytonadione is vitamin K, which can be given to reverse warfarin. Today I have a pt with a supratherapeutic INR at 4.1 who takes warfarin for AFib. I ordered the order set (Warfarin reversal) - Vit K KCentra.
KCentra = prothrombin complex concentrate

Vitamin K & why baby needs it
Vitamin K is one of three medications that newborns typically get right after delivery in the US. I've seen an uptick of parents that refuse the vitamin K because of the wild amounts of misinformation available online about it. So let's dive into it.
Your baby needs vitamin K at birth to help their blood to clot. It prevents something called Vitamin K Deficiency Bleeding, which is rare but can be fatal due to bleeding in the brain. As adults, we get vitamin K from our diet, especially dark leafy green veggies, but it doesn't really cross well through the placenta or breast milk so babies have very low amounts when they're born.
Because of this, things like delayed cord clamping or consuming more vitamin K whilst pregnant will not increase K levels for baby. Exclusively breastfed babies are actually at higher risk for VKDB than formula-fed babies, because formula is fortified with vitamin K. It takes about six months before babies make adequate K levels on their own.
The Vitamin K shot we use at my hospital is called Phytonadione. It comes in a pink box and is refrigerated, so it has no preservatives. This kind of Vitamin K does NOT have a black box warning, which is something I see a lot of folks mention. While there is a black box warning for intravenous (IV) vitamin K which is typically for adults, that is different from the intramuscular (IM) form that newborns receive.
Side Effects? The most significant side effect is discomfort at the injection site. They'll cry for a little after they receive the shot. Yep, that's pretty much it. There is no scientific evidence that shows a link between Vitamin K and leukemia, either.
What about oral vitamin K? There is no FDA approved form of oral vitamin K in the US - my hospital does not offer them, but some facilities do. The oral drops need to be administered multiple times, but if the full course is completed, it is still beneficial to baby. The shot may be preferable because you don't risk baby spitting out the medication, and it's a one-and-done deal. In case parents are concerned because of the high dose given in the IM version, as Vitamin K is fat-soluble, it's stored in baby's liver and is slowly released over time.
What about circumcisions? If you choose to have your child circumcised but refuse Vitamin K, your provider may refuse to perform the circumcision due to the risk of excessive bleeding.
TL;DR
Vitamin K is an extremely safe, effective medication and has been given routinely to millions of babies since 1961 in the US. It prevents devastating internal bleeding in newborns with virtually no downside.
If you'd like more info, feel free to take a look!

Vitamin K: The Unsung Hero of Blood Clotting and Bone Health
When it comes to discussions about essential vitamins, vitamin K is often left out, but it is importance in preserving optimal health cannot be simple. This forgotten hero greatly improves general well-being by playing a critical role in blood clotting and bone health.
Let's look at the importance of vitamin K, as well as its sources, uses, and effects on our bodies.
Tumblr media
What is vitamin K used for?
There are two main forms of vitamin K, which are fat-soluble, K1 (phylloquinone) and K2 (menaquinone).
While leafy green vegetables are the main source of K1, fermented foods, and animal products contain K2.
K1 and K2 have different functions in the body; K1 is necessary for blood clotting, while K2 is important for bone health.
Blood Clotting (Primary role of Vitamin K)
Vitamin K's role in blood clotting is among its most important physiological roles. When we are injured, clotting is a complicated process that keeps the bleeding from getting too bad.
Blood clots can form at the site of injury because vitamin K activates proteins in the blood clotting cascade.
Insufficient Vitamin K might slow down the blood clotting process, which results in more bleeding and possible health risks.
Bone Health (Beyond calcium)
Although calcium is frequently linked to bone health, vitamin K is also essential for strong, healthy bones.
Through its ability to control calcium levels and promote the synthesis of proteins necessary for bone mineralization, vitamin K plays a role in bone metabolism.
According to research, a vitamin K deficiency may raise the risk of fractures and result in decreased bone density.
Sources of Vitamin K
Including a range of foods in your diet is necessary for maintaining that you are getting enough Vitamin K. Rich sources of Vitamin K1 are leafy green vegetables like broccoli, spinach, and kale.
As a source of Vitamin K2, include animal products such as eggs and meat as well as fermented foods like natto, cheese, and sauerkraut. You can maintain the best levels of Vitamin K by including these foods in your diet.

How much vitamin K per day?
Age and gender-specific recommendations for vitamin K intake vary. The average adult needs between 90 and 120 micrograms per day.
While a balanced diet can supply enough Vitamin K, some people, especially those with particular medical conditions or dietary restrictions, may find taking supplements beneficial.
But, it would be best to speak with a medical expert before starting a supplement routine.
Where is vitamin K produced in body?
The gut bacteria found in the large intestine are the main producers of vitamin K in the body.
Much of the vitamin K that is produced by bacteria during gut fermentation is different from that which is obtained from dietary sources, especially Vitamin K1 from leafy green vegetables and Vitamin K2 from fermented foods.
This bacterial production of vitamin K adds to the body's total vitamin K pool and is needed for many physiological processes, including bone metabolism and blood clotting.
Even with this endogenous synthesis, dietary consumption is still necessary for guaranteeing the body gets enough Vitamin K, since the body may not always require as much of it as is produced by gut bacteria.
What is vitamin K also known as?
Because of its vital role in the process of blood clotting, vitamin K is also referred to as the "clotting vitamin".
The German word "koagulation," from which the name "K" is derived, highlights the role that this word plays in blood coagulation or clotting.
This vitamin is required for the coagulation cascade's protein synthesis, which stops excessive bleeding and speeds up wound healing. Also, because it helps maintain bone health by controlling calcium levels and promoting the synthesis of proteins required for bone mineralization, vitamin K is frequently referred to as the "bone vitamin".
