Vitamin K and Fat Content?
Cyndi asked:
I know that Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin. Is there a certain amount of fat that needs to be present for a certain amount of vitamin K to be dissolved in it? For example, if I were going to get so many micrograms of vitamin K, would that automatically come with a set amount of fat? This is for a paper I’m writing, so any links to websites or specific words i can use for a search would be appriciated.

Cyndi-
You do know vitamin K is not potassium, right?
I know it’s it’s the main ingredient in Warfarfin / Coumadin- also the same as you’ll find in D-con (rat poison???)
I’m not sure I can help you with the answer as the “experts” are pretty much clueless.
You might find some useful info at ptinr.com
When I started on Coumadin (heart patient) we actually weighed out grams and ounces to try to keep me in the area they called therapeutic. It was unsuccessful.
2 years later, I just started eating what I wanted and we adjusted the dosage accordingly.
Not only is vitamin k found in green leafy veggies (which I crave) but you’ll also find loads of it in things like corn dogs.
It is a bizarre vitamin with a life of it’s own. Fat does increase it’s levels- like a salad with vinegar & oil is way higher in K than one with no oils at all.
If you can figure this one out; you can make a fortune and help countless people. There is information out there, but finding gold is easier.
Check out any center focusing on heart disease- go to Coumadin.com -they might offer some new links. You may find more looking under things like rat poison (makes all us Coumadin users feel so safe…)
If you do find out anything I would be delighted to hear about it. Good luck, God bless. Love you!
