I would assume adults, I don’t even know what vitamin K is, but I know they make an adult cereal called special K, so I’m sure if is for the people who need it the most

c. newborns. Vitamin K is synthesized by bacteria in the gut. Since newborns don’t have any b/c they haven’t been using their digestive system yet they are given shots at birth of Vitamin K.

C. Newborns

Because vitamin K deficiency can develop from lack of potassium in breast milk.
