It is made in our intestinal tract with the help of the friendly bacteria. While those taking coumadin are discouraged from taking extra vitamin K or eating foods rich in vitamin K (such as spinach and broccoli), it is okay to ensure the health and natural production of what occurs in the body. It would be beneficial to reinforce the health of your intestinal flora with a probiotic formula so that your body's natural production of vitamin K does not become compromised. Of course it is also important to maintain adequate stores of of calcium, vitamin D and magnesium. Hopefully your need to take coumadin is temporary and you can soon begin to reduce your dose while simultaneously introducing more natural therapies such as fish oil and vitamin E. I would discuss these concerns with your physician or naturopathic doctor and perhaps he or she can give you a plan to do so. In the meantime, a probitic and comprehensive multi vitamin (without vitamin K) should do the trick at keeping your nutrients within acceptable ranges.
