Thanks for the warning. I did read up on it, though. It is K1 that works to improve blood clotting, thus counteracting the effects of the low dose aspirin. Vitamin K2 (MK4 & MK7) help with the proper distribution of calcium. I read this in several places, but here is a link to one that I found in a quick search...

Does taking vitamin K counteract the benefits of taking a daily baby aspirin?

Aspirin thins the blood and vitamin K1 causes blood to clot. So, yes, they do tend to counteract each other. However, vitamin K is more complex as there's vitamin K1 and vitamin K2. In a hospital environment when we have a Coumadin overdose and the blood is too thin and we want to neutralize it quickly, we will administer a shot of vitamin K1 to get it into the blood quickly. However vitamin K2 can be administered with aspirin but not with Coumadin as it is a vitamin K2 antagonist.
