Vitamin K is converted to active vitamin K in the body which helps to activate clotting factors in the liver. Coumadin (warfarin) prevents the body from activating vitamin K, therefore the clotting factors are never activated and your blood becomes thinner or more difficult to clot. When you eat vitamin K rich foods (green leafy vegitables, etc), the vitamin K competes with the Coumadin and can neutralize its effect.
