Vitamin K is found in green or leafy vegetables, such as broccoli, turnip greens, romaine lettuce and cabbage. Cheese, egg yolk, and liver contain small amounts of the vitamin. large doses of vitamin K can be toxic and supplements of this are available through prescription only. Large doses of vitamin E might interfere with the blood clotting functions of vitamin K.

There are also medications that affect the vitamin K absorption such as coumarin, warfarin,heparin, and salicylates. Liver disease and and malabsorption syndroem would also affect vitamin K absorption. these conditions require therepeutic doses from a physician to control.
