Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I still eat spinach and kale if I’m worried about stroke risk? Yes — in fact, most doctors encourage leafy greens as part of a healthy diet. The key is consistency rather than avoidance. Sudden big changes in intake matter more than moderate daily amounts.
Is vitamin K2 safer than vitamin K1 for seniors? Some research suggests K2 may support bone and heart health differently, but it still affects clotting pathways. Neither form should be taken in high supplemental doses without medical advice, especially if you use blood thinners.
What if I’m not on any blood-thinning medication? For healthy seniors without clotting disorders or relevant prescriptions, normal dietary vitamin K is generally considered safe and may offer benefits. High-dose supplements still warrant caution and a conversation with your healthcare provider.
