What it does
Supports proteins involved in blood clotting and bone metabolism.
Possible deficiency symptoms
Deficiency can cause abnormal bleeding; it needs clinical evaluation.
How supplementation is approached
Vitamin K1 is part of the vitamin K and clotting discussion, with green vegetables and existing multivitamins relevant to intake. Review why a separate product is being considered and distinguish it from K2 forms.
Food sources
Leafy greens; broccoli; Brussels sprouts.
Supplement forms
Phylloquinone, also called phytonadione.
What to track and reassess
Coordinate any vitamin K change with the anticoagulation team when taking warfarin. Consistent intake and the prescribed monitoring plan matter more than a genotype-based supplement guess.
From starting support to follow-up
If you and your clinician start a CMA replenishment plan, you may add one new product at a time, often waiting 3–7 days to see how you feel. A check-in is usually planned near ten weeks during an approximately 100-day period. Follow your written plan for amounts and timing. At follow-up, you may continue, change, or stop each item. This timetable does not automatically end longer-term support.
