Can someone on Coumadin (Warfarin) use the HEALTHPAK 100 or the ESSENTIALS with vitamin K?
Since Coumadin works primarily by blocking the action of vitamin K in normal blood clotting, taking excessive or inconsistent amounts of vitamin K can impact the effectiveness of the medication. We strongly suggest that anyone on Coumadin therapy discuss the use of these supplements with their physician before starting the ESSENTIALS or HEALTHPAK 100.
