The app can also be used to maintain a consistent intake of vitamin K as advised by your healthcare provider if you’re on an anticoagulant such as warfarin (Coumadin®) that acts by lowering the activity of vitamin K to avoid fluctuations in warfarin activity, which can lead to bleeding (too much activity) or thrombosis (too little activity).
