Nutritional Scientists, any one? Or similar...

Hi, I need your help.
Looking through the Nordic Nutrition Recommendation, I noticed that there are not mentioned any nutrient based guidelines for Vitamin K. This confuses me.

WHY? (Because I don't think, that there was an error in the database... maybe..., just tell me, it`s right; if u can`t tell me why!)

other thing: Any one here, who is a native English speaker and is confident with such themes (life sciences, biology ecc.)?

KIITOS, G

Vitamin K is found in cabbage, cauliflower, spinach and other green leafy vegetables, cereals, soybeans, and other vegetables. Vitamin K is also made by the bacteria that line the gastrointestinal tract.

Vitamin K deficiency is very rare. It occurs when the body can't properly absorb the vitamin from the intestinal tract. Vitamin K deficiency can also occur after long-term treatment with antibiotics.

So... Normally the body is able to produce vitamin K by itself - supplements are rarely needed.

Thanks, I know; even though some doubt if the intestinal synthesis is enough... but anyway a deficiency is rare.
I was just confused NOT to find any nutrient based guidelines neither in the Nordic Nutrition Rec. nor Finnish Rec.s. Because I know other guidelines where they are actually putting a value for Vitamin K.
But that is probably the reason...

Ich würde mir keine Sorgen darüber machen... Es wird ja überall festgestellt, dass der Mangel extrem selten ist. Natürlich kannst du in die Apotheke gehen und z.B. Ladyvita kaufen. Das ist ein Produkt, das alles enthält - auch Vitamin K.

Nein, ich mach mir auch keine Sorgen.

Ich hatte nur fälschlicherweise angenommen, dass die Referenzwerte in den verschiedenen Ländern ähnlicher sind.
Ok. dass die unterschiedliche Werte haben, wusste ich schon, aber dass manche GAR KEINEN Wert angeben, war mir recht neu.

Ich nehme eh keine Supplemente, bin nur wissenschaftlich neugierig...
