Can Vitamin K2 Supplements Be Taken For Atrial Fibrillation?
Hi, my name is Ken and I am 63 years old. I have A Fib and take warfarin everyday. I take several kinds of supplements including calcium, zinc and magnesium. I was recently told that I need to take a vitamin called K2. Can I please get ur opinion on this. Thanks. Ken J.
It is not safe to take vitamin K2 supplements while on warfarin. Vitamin K2 supplements and other forms of vitamin K can interfere with blood-thinning medications like warfarin by reducing their anticlotting effects hence it is not advisable to take them together.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
