Vitamin K Adequate Intake depends on age and sex (US Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2020–2025).
Vitamin K contributes to:
Vitamin K plays key roles in blood clotting to prevent bleeding and bone health, and appears to help in the prevention and treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis.
Anticoagulants like warfarin (Coumadin®) act by lowering the activity of vitamin K, so it is important that people taking such anticoagulants maintain a consistent daily vitamin K intake to avoid fluctuations in warfarin activity, which can lead to bleeding (too much activity) or thrombosis (too little activity). This app can help you maintain a consistent intake of vitamin K.
Set you target daily vitamin K intake based on the info provided in the app or advice from your healthcare provider and watch your progress towards your daily target in real-time as you record your food and beverage intake using speech recognition or by favoriting foods and using the serving sizes provided, which can be changed at any time.
