Vitamin K Rich-Foods*

There is insufficient information to determine recommended dietary allowances (RDAs) for vitamin K, although some agencies have developed daily adequate intake (AI) recommendations:

The Food and Nutrition Board (FNB) recommends 120 mcg for males over 19 years, 90 mcg for females over 19 years.

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) set the AI for vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) at 70 mcg for all adults.

See our vitamin K monograph for details on children and pregnancy/lactation data.
