Answer 1

Leafy green vegetables, such as spinach, kale, collards, and broccoli, are the best sources of vitamin K. The greener the plant, the higher the vitamin K content. Other significant dietary sources of vitamin K include soybean oil, olive oil, cottonseed oil, and canola oil, meat and dairy products.

Several proteins involved in blood clotting require vitamin K. When there isn’t enough K, blood takes longer to clot, increasing the amount of blood lost.

People who are at risk of having problems related to abnormal blood clotting, such as those with a history of stroke or heart disease, are often put on anti-coagulation therapy. These medications reduce blood clotting by competing with vitamin K. Anyone on anticoagulant medicine (blood thinners) should know that the amount of vitamin K in the diet may affect how well the medications work.

Answer 2

Vitamin K:


Functions: Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin that helps blood to clot and stop bleeding.

Deficiency problems: Thin blood that does not adequately coagulate.

Food sources: Intestinal bacteria produce some of the vitamin K you need. The best food sources include green leafy vegetables such as kale, parsley, spinach and broccoli. Smaller amounts are found in milk and other dairy products, meat, eggs, cereal, fruits and other vegetables.

Excess amounts: No symptoms have been observed from excessive intake of vitamin K.

Answer 3

It just so happens I have recently done some research on the subject.
Foods rich in vitamin K:

liver
pork
dairy products, like milk and yogurt
green leafy vegetables like spinach, broccoli, asparagus, watercress, cabbage, cauliflower, green peas, beans, olives, canola, soybeans, meat, cereals
Vitamin K is the clotmaster.
and you answered your own question. . .
He's on a blood thinner
foods with vitamin K are blood thickeners i.e. they increase the bloods clotting ability.
He doesn't need that.

Answer 4

Vit. K is a coagulant, or will cause the blood to clot easier. Coumadin is used to regulate the thickness/thinness of the blood. The vit. k will interfere with it.
Dark green leafy vegetables such as spinach, turnip greens, mustard, kale, collards and cabbage are among the ones that contain the most vit. k

Answer 5

Green leafy vegetables and some vegetable oils (soybean, cottonseed, canola, and olive) are major contributors of dietary vitamin K. Hydrogenation of vegetable oils may decrease the absorption and biological effect of dietary vitamin K (33).

Answer 6

What foods contain vitamin K?

Dietary sources of vitamin K include certain dark green leafy vegetables( such as kale, collard greens, spinach, mustard greens, turnip greens and brussel sprouts) and certain vegetable oils (soybean, canola, cottonseed, and olive). It's easy to get enough vitamin K from green vegetables. Kale is one of the richest sources of vitamin K. One cup of cooked kale contains more than 1000 ug of vitamin K. One cup of cooked broccoli contains about 300 ug of Vitamin K.

Answer 7

Vitamin K is a fat soluble vitamin necessary for blood clotting and may be taken as a guard too easy bleeding. K reduces excessive menstruation, helps heal broken blood vessels in the eye, aids in arresting bone loss and post- menopausal brittle bones. Good food sources: seafoods, sea greens, dark leafy vegetables, liver, molasses, eggs, oats, crucifers and sprouts.

Answer 8

"K" is in eggs, beef, strawberries, cabbage, broccoli, asparagus, greens and tomatoes.

As to why he shouldn't eat "K" since he is on cumidin, the Doctors may not want him to take any chances. Cumidin may only thin his blood to about normal, and any extra "K" would cause his blood to thicken.

Answer 10

Cabbage, liver, eggs, milk, spinach, broccoli, sprouts, kale, collards, and other green vegetables
