Is this K2 combo ok to take while on blood thinner I have been recommended to take MegaQuinone K2-7 & I am on Xarelto 20 mg with dinner. I am post one ablation last August for parox afib & I have had 2 episodes of atrial flutter late after the blanking period and am told I now need a touchup ablation (when I can get this I don't know now bec of COVID-19!) Here are the ingredients listed on back: Vit K2 as menaquinone-7, 320 mg Vit K1 (as phylloquinone), 200 mcg Magnesium amino acid chelate 400 mg Zinc (as zinc bisglycinate) 30 mg My concern of course is the K1 while on a blood thinner. Also is that magnesium (even tho it says amino acid) like a regular magnesium - I would need to know this bec I already take about 400-500 range of varying magnesium forms & perhaps I would need to cut back on them if I take this.

Thanks Carey, but why is that? Isn't K1 a clotter & even though it may be a low amount, why is it that with a NOAC like Xarelto it is different - it is a blood thinner?

The mechanism of action for Xarelto (and other NOAC's) is different than Warfarin. Warfarin's method of action is to destroy K1. Hence K intake does not matter.]]> GeorgeN AFIBBERS FORUM Sat, 25 Apr 2020 03:15:24 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,174629,174633#msg-174633 Re: Is this K2 combo ok to take while on blood thinner https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,174629,174633#msg-174633 Madeline AFIBBERS FORUM Sat, 25 Apr 2020 01:33:06 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,174629,174631#msg-174631 Re: Is this K2 combo ok to take while on blood thinner https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,174629,174631#msg-174631 Carey AFIBBERS FORUM Sat, 25 Apr 2020 00:51:36 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,174629,174629#msg-174629 Is this K2 combo ok to take while on blood thinner https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,174629,174629#msg-174629 I am on Xarelto 20 mg with dinner.
