What is the difference in Vitamin K between V8 and tomato juice?

Since your INR is around 2.5--3.0 at the moment, I wouldn't worry about the juice.Kristy,
I called Campbell today and they gave me the same EXACT answer! Dang it. So I don't know the difference between the two juices. I have been running just a smidge above 2.5 on my INR so hope V8 times three mornings doesn't throw me below 2.5. Guess I will see on Tuesday...did decide to skip my salad tonight then do the normal salad after that.
Thanks for you advise!
What you did was NOT "dumb". ReallyBina,
Thanks for sharing. I feel a little better about it. I was upset because Campbell wouldn't give me any help about Vitamin K content and I have been trying to keep my Vitamin Ki intake consistent. I was upset with myself about not reading the ingredients lable first. Just grabbed itout of the fridge and drank it. that was DUMB! I learned a lesson big time!
Thanks again for sharing!
One other thing to think about if you're drinking V8, is that you're getting 25% of your recommended daily sodium intake from a single 8oz glass. If you're hypertensive, prone to it, or eat a lot of other high sodium foods, this may be a concern for you.
We self-monitor and dose. Skyler loves V8 (surprisingly) – particularly as clamato. We’ve never noticed any change in INR. In fact, we don’t worry too much about diet because it’s relatively consistent. The only time we find INR changes is if he’s been eating a bunch of junk food, really. Even then, it goes all the way up from 2.7 to 3.3… Not enough to worry about.
If you keep your Vit K intake relatively high (multivitamin), then we find INR just doesn’t move around a lot.
