The evidence in words
How much to take
Obtained from leafy greens; supplementation is rarely needed outside clinical settings. On warfarin, keep intake steady rather than avoiding greens.
Timing & separation
There are no strict timing conflicts on record for Vitamin K1; consistency matters more than the exact hour for most goals.
Why the dose is what it is
K1 activates clotting factors in the liver via carboxylation; it is the direct antagonist of warfarin, which blocks that recycling.
Bottom line
You get enough from greens. If you take warfarin, the rule is steady, consistent vitamin K — not avoidance.
How it is used
As the entry records it, from the studies it summarises. Not a recommendation for you — doses that suit a trial population may not suit you.
