Hello and thank you for your inquiry. National Library of Medicine: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5494092/ Vitamin K use in Warfarin therapy is safe and may improve INR control, although a dosage adjustment is required. If you are taking Warfarin or any VKA blood thinner, talk to your doctor first before taking supplementary vitamin K or foods including a heavy amount of vitamin K.
How about other blood thinners? Outside VKAs, the other types of blood thinners (like Plavix, Brilinta, Eliquis, heparin, or aspirin) are not affected by vitamin K intake.This information about the connections between blood clotting, vitamin K, and blood thinners usually refers to vitamin K1 (phylloquinone), which is just one type of vitamin K.
There’s another type called vitamin K2 (menaquinone), touted to be beneficial for cardiovascular health.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5494092/
