How much vitamin K a day, by age and sex
The label's Daily Value is one figure for everyone; the Dietary Guidelines set the goal by age and sex (AI): 90 µg for women and 120 µg for men aged 19 to 30.
| Age | Women and girls | Men and boys |
|---|---|---|
| 2-3 | 30 µg | 30 µg |
| 4-8 | 55 µg | 55 µg |
| 9-13 | 60 µg | 60 µg |
| 14-18 | 75 µg | 75 µg |
| 19-30 | 90 µg | 120 µg |
| 31-50 | 90 µg | 120 µg |
| 51 and older | 90 µg | 120 µg |
Source: Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2020-2025, Appendix 1, Table A1-2, pages 132-133 (dietaryguidelines.gov), from the National Academies' Dietary Reference Intakes. Ages 2-3: one figure for both sexes.
Per 100 g, the list starts elsewhere
The portion ranking compares everyday foods at the portion FDA's reference amounts describe (USDA's NLEA serving where it lists one). Seasonings, sauces, powders, dried and concentrated forms, raw meat and fish, uncooked grains and dry beans, restaurant items and foods without a household measure near that portion are ranked per 100 g only: nobody eats a cup of dried thyme. Per 100 g, these lead:
| Food | Vitamin K per 100 g | In the portion ranking |
|---|---|---|
| Spices, sage, ground | 1,715 µg | not an everyday portion (rule above) |
| Spices, thyme, dried | 1,715 µg | not an everyday portion (rule above) |
| Spices, basil, dried | 1,715 µg | not an everyday portion (rule above) |
| Parsley, fresh | 1,640 µg | not an everyday portion (rule above) |
| Spices, coriander leaf, dried | 1,360 µg | not an everyday portion (rule above) |
| Amaranth leaves, raw | 1,140 µg | ranked 15 |
| Spices, poultry seasoning | 805 µg | not an everyday portion (rule above) |
| Collards, frozen, chopped, cooked, boiled, drained, with salt | 623 µg | ranked 1 |
