Low Dose Supplementation to Improve Anticoagulation Control With Oral Vitamin K as an Adjuvant to Warfarin Therapy

The main objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of low dose Vitamin K1 (200 micrograms per day) at improving anticoagulation control in unstable patients on warfarin. This study will also aim to look at effectiveness in the context of genes known to influence warfarin metabolism, variability in the consumption of Vitamin K rich foods, and patient knowledge about warfarin anticoagulation -- factors which have been associated with anticoagulation control and which can influence the effectiveness of this intervention in clinical practice.
