Broccoli is a rich source of Vitamin K with 220 micrograms per 125 mL (1/2 cup) serving.
Here are two helpful resources I used in a counseling session recently:
- Warfarin interactions with drugs, natural health and food products (Heath Canada handout)
- Food Sources of Vitamin K (PEN handout) (note: subscription required)
What resources or specific advice do you give your clients who are on warfarin? Feel free to share these in the comments section.
