Showing Vitamin K in the nutrient table
Give the amount of Vitamin K per daily dose, in µg, and the %NRV. A daily dose of 75 µg works out as 75 ÷ 75 × 100 = 100% NRV. Check other doses with our %NRV calculator.
The nutrient table names the nutrient. The ingredients list names the form used, such as phylloquinone (K1).
Is there a maximum dose?
The UK has no legal maximum for Vitamin K in food supplements. The Department of Health and Social Care advice, published on the NHS website, is: 1 mg (1,000 µg) or less a day from supplements is unlikely to cause harm.
Authorised health claims
These are examples of authorised claims on the GB nutrition and health claims register. Use them word for word or with wording that means exactly the same, and only when the daily dose provides at least 15% of the NRV (11.2 µg).
- “Vitamin K contributes to normal blood clotting”
- “Vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bones”
Check the full register entry before you print: some claims have extra conditions. See our health claims guide and how to check a claim on the register.
Labelling notes
Vitamin K affects blood clotting, so many brands add advice for people taking anticoagulant medicines such as warfarin to speak to their doctor.
Check before you print. Claims and dose advice are summarised from the GB nutrition and health claims register and the NHS vitamins and minerals pages, as of October 2026. Confirm your final wording against the register.
