Vitamin K Counter & Tracker

Use this app to ensure an adequate intake of vitamin K, which has beneficial effects on bone (to prevent osteoporosis), blood clotting, infections, inflammation & autoimmune disorders.  
The app can also be used to maintain a consistent intake of vitamin K as advised by your HCP if you’re on an anticoagulant such as warfarin (Coumadin®) that acts by lowering the activity of vitamin K to avoid fluctuations in warfarin activity, which can lead to bleeding (too much activity) or thrombosis (too little activity).
Set your target daily vitamin K intake based on guidance provided in the app and your preferences for weights of food (g or oz) and display of vitamin K content in foods and beverages (ie, %target/serving, micrograms/100g or micrograms/1oz, or %target/100g or %target/1oz).
Record food and beverage consumption using dictation, search, or by favoriting foods, and using the serving sizes provided, which can be changed at any time. Use the notepad to add notes if desired.
Monitor daily and long-term progress, export data to share with healthcare providers, synchronize data with other First Line Medical Communications Ltd nutrient counter apps, and share data with Apple's HealthKit.
Add your own foods and recipes and change serving sizes to personalize the app's 400-item database for you.
The app also provides nutritional information for many healthy foods and supports a healthy gut microbiome diet using color-coded type and icons as follows:
1. All high-vitamin K foods (ie, contain more than 15 micrograms(μg) of vitamin K per serving) appear in purple type. Tap on the food name to find out more about the food including the serving size and see icons: a green leaf icon indicates that the food is a plant and can be included as one of the 30 different types of plant per week recommended by experts for a healthy gut microbiome; a red warning triangle icon indicates that the food is ultra-processed (see below); a gold microbe icon indicates that the food is a probiotic.
2. Plants that can be included as one of the 30 different types of plant per week recommended by experts for a healthy gut microbiome and contain less than 15μg of vitamin K per serving are in green type (with a green leaf icon used to indicate a plant in the food popup). The most prebiotic of these plants (ie, those particularly beneficial for the gut microbiome) are in a darker green type.
3. Fermented foods that contain beneficial live microbes to become part of the gut microbiome (probiotics) and contain less than 15μg of vitamin K per serving are in gold type with a gold microbe icon in the food popup. Some cheeses are probiotic but most commercial cheeses do not contain probiotics. If you have a probiotic cheese, you can add it to the database as a probiotic - see 10. Add food.
4. Foods that are likely to be ultra-processed (UPFs) — ie, contain ingredients not found in a home kitchen (eg, preservatives, flavorings, and emulsifiers) and contain less than 15μg of vitamin K per serving are in red type with a red warning triangle in the food popup. UPFs are often high-calorie, low-fiber, high-saturated fat, high-sugar, high-sodium, low-nutrient foods linked to obesity and chronic inflammation (due to their adverse effect on the gut microbiome), which is a key feature of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). NCDs include type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, many cancers, depression, dementia and Parkinson's disease.
5. Foods in black type contain less than 15μg of vitamin K per serving and are neither UPF, plant, prebiotic nor probiotic and are healthy when consumed in moderation as part of a healthy diet.
