Warfarin vs Vitamin K

Many foods and medications react to one another with negative consequences. One of the worst for people on blood thinners is vitamin K.


Vitamin K, literally named after the German word "koagulation", is needed to help the blood clot. Since blood thinners help prevent clotting, you can easily see the conflict.

People on blood thinners should limit their intake of vitamin K. However, "quantity" is not as vital as "consistency". As long as you don't intake too much, and keep what you do intake consistent, your medicine level can be adjusted to fit your diet and lifestyle.
