BOTH Vitamin synthesize intestine

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I know from UW the normal flora small intestine is colonized with enteric bacteria which can produce vitamins K and folate ,inhibit proliferation of surrounding pathogenic bacteria and digestion unabsorbed dietary sugar and convert them to fatty acid.

If small intestine overgrowth ---------overproduction of Vit K and folate
 
Thank you, for explaining about vitamin K and folate. But at this website where I linked they are talking nonsense?
About 80% of the approximately 25–30 mg of thiamin in the adult human body is in the form of thiamin diphosphate (TDP; also known as thiamin pyrophosphate), the main metabolically active form of thiamin. Bacteria in the large intestine also synthesize free thiamin and TDP, but their contribution, if any, to thiamin nutrition is currently unknown [4]. TDP serves as an essential cofactor for five enzymes involved in glucose, amino acid, and lipid metabolism [1,3].
