Hello,

Thanks for bringing your question to dLife.

Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin and essential nutrient. That means that your body needs a certain amount of vitamin K. It plays a key role in blood clotting.

Foods high in vitamin K might interfere with the action of certain medicines. In this case, these foods must be avoided or eaten in smaller portions.

Talk with a registered dietitian. He or she can help with establishing an individualized meal plan that meets your nutritional requirements as well as your target amount of vitamin K..

Practically all foods contain some vitamin K. Foods with the highest amounts of vitamin K include: green vegetables, liver, soybean and canola oils.

Take care.
