What If I'm On Coumadin/Warfarin?
We help you balance your intake of Vitamin K.
Coumadin (Warfarin) is a medication that helps prevent blood clots, reducing the risk of heart attack, stroke, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and pulmonary embolism.
Vitamin K and Blood Thinners
-
Vitamin K helps your body make proteins needed for blood clotting and bone health.
-
You do not need to avoid Vitamin K, but it’s important to eat consistent amounts of Vitamin K-rich foods each week while on coumadin/warfarin.
-
Sudden increases or decreases in Vitamin K intake can affect your INR (blood clotting time) and how your medication works.
