Vitamin K

IMPORTANT: Before buying this app, consider the new apps that covers Vitamin K: INR Assist. It provides the same functionality including creating custom foods, changing the color scale, and all items in the USDA database instead of just a select percentage. The only difference between these new apps is labeling and documentation, so you just need one. Vitamin K is one of 10 iNutrient apps based on the USDA National Nutrient Database. The others include: ◉ iCarbs (Carbohydrates) ◉ iCholesterol (Dietary Cholesterol) ◉ iFiber (Fiber) ◉ iKals (Calories) ◉ iPotassium (Potassium) ◉ iProteins (Proteins) ◉ iSatFat (Saturated Fat) ◉ iSodium (Sodium) ◉ iSugars (Sugars) Users can record their intake for any food. The information is maintained for one year and is presented in reverse chronological order grouped by day, so the latest data is presented first in the list. Editing allows for: 1) changing the number of servings; 2) changing the date; and 3) deleting records. Individual Intake Items can be copied to the current day, and all Intake Items for a single day can be copied to the current day. If you take blood thinning medications like Coumadin(R) or Warfarin, then this is an app you will truly make use of on a regular basis. "If you or a loved one is on Warfarin, this app is a fantastic resource to have on hand to know what foods are high in vitamin K. The foods are arranged alphabetically and are color-coded to help quickly identify how much vitamin K the particular food on interest contains. Highly recommended!
