Vitamin K is the “KLOTTING” vitamin that your body uses to clot blood after an injury or cut – for NORMAL blood clotting.
How dangerous are the side effects of Coumadin?
Short term Coumadin side effects - warfarin side effects can be dramatic. You will want to to tell your doctor about these immediately:
If you bleed more than usual anywhere, including internally

Dr. Harry's top-selling heart FORMULA can be safely used with prescription blood clot meds OR as a safe Coumadin alternative.
If you are over 70, blood clot meds are more likely to cause bleeding problems -- especially bleeding strokes or a Coumadin brain bleed.
If you're older than 75, or take other blood clot meds as well, so you will have to work with your doctor to make sure you have the right Coumadin dosage at all times!
A Coumadin overdose results in bleeding. Or a bleeding stroke if it is in the brain.
An overdose can be due to a Coumadin food interaction or Coumadin drug interactions, which can alter its action.
Coumadin side effects can also include interactions with some foods, prescription medicines and supplements.
If you are taking these blood clot meds, make sure you educate yourself about all the potential side effects of Coumadin (warfarin).
Coumadin SIDE EFFECTS of warfarin TO TELL YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT:
Researchers report these (Warfarin) Coumadin long term side effects:
German researchers found out in 2005 that long term use of Coumadin produced increased calcium in the aortic valve and coronary arteries when compared to patients not taking Coumadin.
If your doctor wants you to stay on Coumadin for the long term, is he or she aware of Dr. Gordon's warning?
There is a bigger problem!
Dr. Garry Gordon, author of the book The Omega 3 Miracle says:
Fortunately, scientists are discovering that Vitamin K2 helps prevent Calcium from Building up in Your Arteries!
If you are concerned about the danger of Coumadin side effects (Warfarin), you can talk to your doctor and:
Explain your desire to forgo drug therapy in favor of a safer, more natural approach.
If you are not yet taking Warfarin and do not want the side effects of Coumadin, you can prevent problems with protective natural blood thinners (anticoagulants) that can stop blood clots naturally.
These are typically:
1) fish oils
2) vitamin E
3) Bromelain
4) Nattokinase
NOTE: Not all natural blood thinners are strong or effective enough if you already have heart disease.
Best to get feedback from your doctor from your INR results about your progress.
Now here's something to wrap your mind around. You've been told to avoid vitamin k, yes?
That's because Vitamin K is the CLOTTING VITAMIN!
So with less vitamin K your blood will not clot normally and therefore unwanted blood clots are less likely.
Now, not to be confused with vitamin K, Vitamin K2 actually can help you get out of this mess!
Why? The role of vitamin K2 is now being discovered as important for STOPPING CALCIUM FROM HARDENING THE ARTERIES!
New research is showing vitamin K2 to be a critical nutrient for patients with arteriosclerosis, because it has the potential to prevent and remove calcium from arteriosclerotic plaques thus making plaques easier to dissolve and less dangerous.
If you want to discontinue using Coumadin (Warfarin) suddenly, you need to know that some researchers have found a REBOUND effect.
Scientists have reported INCREASED clotting or hyper-coagulability due to stopping Warfarin abruptly. 3 (cessation of anticoagulation)
If you have the factors mentioned above, you will want to avoid having an INCREASED risk of forming blood clots DUE TO STOPPING COUMADIN suddenly, and phase it out slowly.
And, adding a proven heart health supplement will give increased protection:
If you are taking Coumadin and alcohol you will want to know that alcohol ENHANCES the effects of your Coumadin medication.
You will want to know the signs of a mini stroke, because a Coumadin overdose basically means that your risk for bleeding and bleeding stokes goes up dramatically:
With a Coumadin substitute that works differently, you will no longer have to worry about a warfarin vitamin k diet, and you can take it alongside your Coumadin medication until your doctor says it is SAFE for you to STOP warfarin.
What’s a proper diet for taking Coumadin?
While not a lot of research has been done on the exact proper diet for taking Coumadin, here’s a Coumadin food list -- to avoid getting Coumadin side effects.
A Coumadin food interaction is more typical with foods high in vitamin k, so sometimes people think that their doctor has told them NOT TO EAT ANY GREENS.
Typically you will be advised NOT to take a multiple vitamin with vitamin k1 so as not to affect your Coumadin dosage.
So no reason to take the following from the Coumadin food list if you understand the basics of Coumadin food interaction. VITAMIN K AND COUMADIN.
A typical Coumadin food list with vitamin k to be aware of includes beef liver and:
• Spinach
• Lettuce
• Cabbage
• Broccoli
• Parsley
• Swiss Chard
• Watercress
• Turnip Greens
• Mustard Greens
• Endive
Foods NOT high in vitamin k but still known to cause a Coumadin food interaction and your INR, are soy milk, cranberries, mango and pomegranate juice. Drinking these juices will affect our INR and your Coumadin dosage.
To avoid blood clot meds long term, change your diet and foods to be home remedies for blood clots.
Many foods prevent blood clots for healthy people: See: how Blood thinning foods help against blood clots long term.
