Brocolli And Vitamin K

For years I have not really been consistent with vitamin K on a daily basis. Eating broccoli every other day and not really having vitamin K in the days between but my INR results were always consistent ranging between 2.0 and 2.5. Of late my INR are very inconsistent 1.8 one week and 3.5 another and my doctor of course changes the dosage. I want to continue eating my cup of broccoli every other day which is 220 mcg but cannot seem to find a food which I could eat in the in between days to match this amount of vitamin K. I`m wondering if I could take a vitamin K supplement every other day - would that work?

Hello, Lucy! How are you?

In theory, it should work, but I'd recommend getting your doctor's approval, before you try taking one. Sometimes supplements act differently in the body than when we obtain a nutrient through natural sources.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of blood thinners as possibly including nausea, headache, increased risk of bleeding and easy bruising.

Is there anything else I can help with?
