Vitamin K intake question

[Jkm7]

Thanks about the soy.

I never go near the breakfast bars or carnation stuff. I didn't start reading here about ACT until I learned I was going for second OHS. Before that, I made no effort to learn re: coumadin as I didn't anticipate needing to know. I use soy milk in my cereal and eat a fair amount of it almost everyday. I like edamame, soy meatballs, soy nuggets, soy cheese etc My cardio urges a diet rich in soy and at his recommendation (over 4 years ago) I tried it and found I like it.

I read current threads but did not look back to old postings. That is probably why I missed the soy info.

Sheepdog what you talkin bout. Baby cabbage heads are yummy and so is spearguts.

I'm a savory eater. I would rather have brussel sprouts than chocolate. Same goes for asparagus. And my favorite is spinach. My refrigerator is never without it.

Let me guess, you hate brussel sprouts but tolerate okra?

FRIED is the only way to partake of okra. Sure cuts the slime!

 

[Ross]

I hate okra no matter how I get it.

Anyone have any guesses (or experience) on how much K it actually takes to skew the INR? 25%, 50% of the FDA daily recommendation or are we talking mega doses?

I just took a multivitamin that listed K as 15%. Like a newb...I should have read the label...

Thanks!

2.5mg will knock it done fast. Normal RDA of is like 81mcg, so you'd need about 25 times the RDA to bring you down to nothing in a hurry.

We tell people to throw those lists away. It's fine if you just want to see what something contains, but don't try to use them for dieting. It doesn't work.

when I was big into bodybuilding I ate a lot of brussel sprouts. those little suckers taste great with a dash of sea-salt on them and give you a lot of energy for your workout.

I love Brussel sprouts and when I can get into self monitoring I intend to add them back to my diet...

 

[Ross]

If you listen to the charts, your only allowed about 5 sprouts. Now I don't know about you guys, but 5 is not enough for me. I gotta have at least 10 or more, but I have my diet and Coumadin adjusted for it.

Roger:

Don't wait to enjoy brussel spouts -- go ahead and enjoy now!! You're not likely to eat them every day; fresh, they're kinda pricey...
