There's been a wave of supplements launched containing Vitamin K, particularly K2. Why do people take them?

Not everybody will have heard of Vitamin K2.

But more and more of us are consuming it in supplements, according to market research firm Mintel.

It says new food, drink, vitamin and supplement product launches containing Vitamin K2 have gone up 183% globally between 2008 and 2012.

The better known form of Vitamin K, Vitamin K1, posted a healthy, but slower growth - 96% - over the same reviewed period.

I would have thought something that can affect blood clotting could be downright dangerous.
