anticoagulants Compounds that prevent or slow the process of blood clotting or coagulation, either in samples of blood taken for analysis or in the body.
People at risk of thrombosis are often treated with Warfarin and similar compounds as an anticoagulant, to reduce the risk of intravenous blood clot formation. These act by antagonizing the action of
vitamin K in the synthesis of blood clotting proteins, and people taking anticoagulants should not take supplements containing vitamin K. It is unlikely that the vitamin K in foods would be enough to have any effect.
