Nutrigenomics Vitamin K Requirement
Based on your genetics, your genetic predisposition for Vitamin K Requirement is
High
What does this mean?
Likely to have increased risk of vitamin K deficiency Your genotype shows that you are at increased risk for vitamin K deficiency.
How Is Your Genetic Risk Calculated?
This result is based on the SNPs(single nucleotide polymorphism)that are associated with Vitamin K Requirement.
Genes
Your Genotype
What it means?
Genes: GGCX
Your Genotype: GG
What it means? Lower level of active vitamin K
Suggested Lifestyle Changes
Dietary Recommendations:
- Consume food rich in vitamin K daily to maintain sufficient vitamin K intake.
- Green leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale, broccoli, lettuce, Swiss chard, and parsley are a good source of vitamin K1, with one cup of kale providing over 1,000 micrograms of vitamin K, approximately ten times the recommended minimum daily amount.
- Vitamin K rich fruits include kiwifruit, blueberries, prunes, figs, and grapes.
- Absorption of vitamin K1 is greater when consumed with a little bit of fat, such as vegetable oil, (e.g. extra virgin olive oil, canola oil).
- Increase intake of fermented dairy products, such as yogurt and cheese, and fermented soy (miso paste and natto) rich in vitamin K2, which is especially helpful in increasing bone density and reducing the risk of fractures.
- Animal sources of vitamin K include chicken, eggs, beef, lamb, shrimp, sardines, tuna, and salmon.
- Vitamin K is fairly stable as it is not destroyed by usual cooking methods or lost in cooking water.
