There's nothing to worry about, because the factors needing vitamin K are saturated at very low levels of the vitamin, and once they are saturated, no amount of vitamin K will make clotting happen any faster. However, the vitamin K dependent enzymes responsible for pushing calcium out of the arteries and pulling calcium into the bones need higher vitamin K levels to function properly.
Schurgers and colleagues demonstrated that a daily
dose of 146 μg significantly increased serum levels
of vitamin K2 after 14d (Schurgers, 2007).
Dolev states correctly:

form (1 to 40 mg K1 or 150 mcg K2).
Therefore, does anyone knows if fibre hindering vitamin K's absorbtion would make it more advantageous to take K's inbetween meals?
ofonorow wrote:I do think the general vitamin K dosages do not necessarily separate vitamin K1 and K2, causing the confusion. It is my understanding that generally, high amounts of K1 (mg) are required for calcium regression, but micrograms of K2. That is why I like the LEF product which contains both.
ofonorow wrote:I do have experience with fiber interfering with vitamin C/lysine absorption, and if it does interfere, then yes, do not take your vitamin K within 2 hours of fiber. Also I infer that fat soluble vitamin K (like CoQ10) requires fat to be absorbed properly, which is why it would be recommended with meals. So take it when you eat a fat, minus the fiber.
