The more vitamin K you eat on a daily basis, the less responsive and variable your inr will be to changes in vitamin k intake. Now bc this will decrease your inr, you will definitely want to inform whomever is monitoring it that you have started a new supplement with vitamin k in it. But once you regain steady inr, you should be good. Just make sure your intake is consistent. (ie use daily. Or 3x per week... Whatever you decide, make sure it is consistent). I am a pharmacist who on a somewhat routine basis staffs in an anti coagulation clinic in case you wanted my credentials.

I just want to agree with AB; the amount of vitamin K needs to remain constant. It can be high medium or low but for your Coumadin to work properly it must remain constant.

No, this vitamin vegetarian. There is another vitamin company with a similar name and I wonder if you have confused them. This is from the Garden of Life website: Vitamin Code RAW D3 is the only RAW, vegetarian, whole food vitamin D3 formulated with RAW Food-Created Nutrients. Cultivated with live probiotics, antioxidants, enzymes and nutrient-specific peptides

Yes, the source of vitamin K2 in this product comes from Natto which is fermented soybean extract. It is 100 mcg.

Yes it is. All vitamin K is removed. I researched this before I purchased it.

I tried the Garden of Life raw protein. It was gross! I don't know if it was the stevia that was the problem, but I have a whole tub of it that I just can't stomach. As for the Growing Naturals, this stuff is AMAZING! The chocolate rice protein is equally amazing and even smoother in taste. I don't notice any excessive stevia taste in this product. I've tried Sun Warrior, which is also good, but this brand is by far my favorite. I highly recommend it!

Vit.C (calcium ascorbate - BUFFERED form of vit. C) 100mg, Vit.B-5 250mg, Chamomile Flower extract 125mg, Shavatari root (asparagus racemosus) 100mg, Gotu Kola leaves 100mg, Rhodiola Rosea root 100mg, Eleuthero root 100mg, Licorice root (4:1 standardized) 100mg, Ashwagandha root/leaf 100mg, Schizandra berry 80mg, DMAE (from bitartrate) 25mg. FREE OF: wheat, gluten, soy, dairy, egg, fish/shellfish, peanuts/tree nuts. This is a tablet..not available in capsule (or I would be using it!), so there are other, usual tableting agents. Dose of the above is for 1 tablet. Suggested use on label is 1 tablet 1-2x/day. I hope this helps!! If you want to know, for my own health, I use 1 tablet 2x/day, with meals. It has helped me a lot. I notice a real negative difference when I miss a day. If you look up these nutrients, you will find that they are what most nutrition experts will suggest for adrenal support. My only wish is that they would make this a capsule, even if I would need to take more pills/day.

Hi Timothy C. Kim,There are no detectable values of vitamin D in our krill oil. Oftentimes when vitamin D is present in a fish oil supplement, it has been added for additional benefits. Very rarely is vitamin D found in a krill oil product. Hope this helps answer your question, and if you have any other questions you can reach us by responding to this comment thread or by email at amazon@vivalabs.com.BesaRegistered NutritionistViva Labs

Hi James, did you find and vitamin E with tocotrienols? I'm trying to find it, also. Surprisingly with no luck.

Hi Mary,I can't seem to find that specific information anywhere on the bottle label. I do know for a fact that if you call the Garden of Life customer service phone number that you can speak to a live person that can likely answer that question for you. Please let me know what you find out, if possible.Regards,Doug

As with all supplements and nutrition, everyone is different and you should do your own research on CoQ10, but I take it because I'm vegan so may not get enough of this through my diet and some research seems to show that it helps with recovery and health from cancer and I am a survivor so I decided to take this supplement, among other things. I think getting nutrition through your diet is better, however, so this is one of only a few supplements I take. Here's a good link that gives a pretty fair summary. http://www.webmd.com/heart-disease/heart-failure/tc/coenzyme-q10-topic-overview

Dahlia, The active Vitamin K2 in thei product is indeed MK-4(menatetrenone)...MK7 is also an especially effective absorbable form of Vitamin K and some manufacturers blend Vit.K1 with the Vit.K2 but so long as you get K2 in softgel form and take it with some fat soluble meal you can rest assured that you will get the benefits of Vitamin K...Eggs are an especially good source of K2...Hope this helps. Sincerely, Ultimate Health

Hi there! Thank you for your question. Spirulina could contain naturally occurring vitamin K, but NOW Foods unfortunately does not list this nutrient on the supplement facts label. For further information, we suggest contacting NOW Foods directly. Thanks! ~Juliana

I honestly don't know, as I used my whole supply, but I do not think I saw these ingredients. Having said that, I believe this vitamin should be taken with a major multivitamin, not by itself. There's not enough in the vitamins (Alive) to sustain you.

garden of life emailed me suggesting i give this raw iron to my 6 yr old. since they removed the iron from the kids multivitamin. i'm thinking i'll start with half a caspule. my daughter still takes the multivitamin from garden of life, but she get dark circles when she misses iron. since this is the only iron that has suited me, and i have anemia, i wish i found this years ago esp during pregnancy.the family multivitamin only has 11% iron with 4 capsules doesnt make sense. that means if i give her 2 capsules she gets 5% iron. our food is good vegetarian and she eats a lot of greens and beets and stuff... so some times iron has to be supplemented. garden of life emailed me suggesting i give this raw iron to my 6 yr old. since they removed the iron from the kids multivitamin. i'm thinking i'll start with half a caspule. my daughter still takes the multivitamin from garden of life, but she get dark circles when she misses iron. since this is the only iron that has suited me, and i have anemia, i wish i found this years ago esp during pregnancy.the family multivitamin only has 11% iron with 4 capsules doesnt make sense. that means if i give her 2 capsules she gets 5% iron. our food is good vegetarian and she eats a lot of greens... » Read More garden of life emailed me suggesting i give this raw iron to my 6 yr old. since they removed the iron from the kids multivitamin. i'm thinking i'll start with half a caspule. my daughter still takes the multivitamin from garden of life, but she get dark circles when she misses iron. since this is the only iron that has suited me, and i have anemia, i wish i found this years ago esp during pregnancy.the family multivitamin only has 11% iron with 4 capsules doesnt make sense. that means if i give her 2 capsules she gets 5% iron. our food is good vegetarian and she eats a lot of greens and beets and stuff... so some times iron has to be supplemented. « Show Less

I am confident that the company has addressed this concern. I am also going to continue to use this product because I like it and I have no complications after 3 years of use. I don't use it daily. I don't use it as a steady meal replacement, but I do enjoy it with a fresh juice a few times a week. The key with all of these supplements is exactly that: Use it as a supplement to an already healthy diet.
