Dam and Doisy demonstrated the existence of antihemorrhagic factors in green plants in the early 1900’s. It was shown that a diet deficient in chlorophyll containing plants developed hemorrhagic manifestation that could be alleviated by the addition of numerous vegetables to the diet. As is often the case, accidental observation results in remarkable discoveries. Scientists discovered that chickens fed upon a diet deficient in certain fat-soluble substances, but adequate in other respects, suffered from a condition in which bleeding occurred, not only from the pinfeathers, but also into the subcutaneous tissue and muscle. They theorized this condition was brought on by a decrease in Pro-Thrombin in the blood, which Pro-Thrombin is a blood clotting factor. They were able to reverse and control this condition by the addition of non-saponifiable fractions of Alfalfa, Cabbage, and other vegetables high in chlorophyll.

This particular substance was very prevalent in the vegetable kingdom and is present in Alfalfa, Spinach, Kale, Carrot tops, Tomatoes, and certain vegetable oils (notably Soybean Oil and Vegetable Oil). They named this particular Vitamin as an organic coagulation vitamin or Vitamin K.

Vitamins are defined as organic compounds which are required for normal maintenance of body functions. Recent laboratory and clinical studies indicate the importance of vitamins in helping prevent arrest and correct various disorders associated with the normal and abnormal progressions of life. Vitamins have come into their own in the 90’s. Consumers around the world are looking for effective products to improve their personal appearance and physical well being. It has become apparent that nature holds many secrets that if revealed, could aid in the quest for a better, healthier life.

In the early 60’s, a young pharmacologist, James Jamieson, became intrigued with scientific articles relating to citrus by-products. He was fascinated with the remarkable healing properties of the Flavanoid constituents of citrus peels that were actually being discarded as being useless because of their poor solubility. These Vitamin P (or Flavanoid substances) were found to have amazing antioxidant properties, as well as profound beneficial effects on the circulatory system. By creating a soluble form of the Vitamin P and combining it with Vitamin C, he noticed a greatly enhanced Vitamin C activity. This product concept resulted in numerous medical products, both oral and topical, designed to be used to speed healing and generally to strengthen veins and capillaries. Jamieson formulated these substances into numerous products that he later licensed to leading pharmaceutical companies. One product of particular interest was developed for three noted St. Louis surgeons, Dr. Beckmeyer, Dr. Barnhill, and Dr. Strecker. By adding Vitamin K to the flavanoid Vitamin C combination, a Pre and Post Operative cream was created that shortened the recovery time of surgical patients.
