Vitamin K is a name for a family of fat-soluble vitamins, discovered in the 1930s, first shared publicly in 1939, and eventually leading 3 4 5 6 7 to a Nobel Prize for its discoverers, Henrik Dam and Edward Doisy. The vitamin was first discovered because animals that didn’t receive it had frequent hemorrhages and bleeding; these animals needed this mysterious substance in order to stop the bleeding.
The vitamin’s existence was first published in a German scientific journal, where it was referred 6 7 8 9 1 2 to as Koagulationsvitamin; this is how the name of “vitamin K” eventually came to stick.
(Strange fact: for decades, the only way that we could measure the amount of vitamin K in various foods was 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 by feeding the food to a vitamin-K-deficient chicken and seeing how much the bleeding was reduced!)
