Since Coumadin works primarily by blocking the action of vitamin K in normal blood clotting, taking excessive or inconsistent amounts of vitamin K can impact the effectiveness of the medication. We strongly suggest that anyone on Coumadin therapy discuss the use of these supplements with their physician before starting the ESSENTIALS or HEALTHPAK 100.

Vitamin K is not only essential for the maintenance of normal blood clotting, it is also an enzymatic factor in many proteins and is important for bone mineralization and vascular health.

No adverse effects have been reported for vitamin K, so an upper limit (UL) was not established. See similar questions...
