Description

One-off fee. Free updates. No ads/subscription/registration. Color coding & icons highlight healthy & unhealthy food. Sync w. other FLMC apps. Share w Apple's Health app.

Use this app to ensure an adequate vitamin K intake and avoid deficiency — vitamin K has many physiological roles including beneficial effects on bone (to prevent osteoporosis), blood clotting, infections, inflammation & autoimmune disorders. 
The app can also be used to maintain a consistent intake of vitamin K if you’re on an anticoagulant such as warfarin (Coumadin®) that acts by lowering the activity of vitamin K to avoid fluctuations in warfarin activity, which can lead to bleeding (too much activity) or thrombosis (too little activity).
Set your target daily vitamin K intake based on guidance provided in the app and your preferences for weights of food (g or oz) and display of vitamin K content in foods and beverages (ie, %target/serving, micrograms/100g or micrograms/1oz, or %target/100g or %target/1oz).
Record food and beverage consumption using dictation, search, or by favoriting foods, and using the serving sizes provided, which can be changed at any time. Use the notepad to add notes if desired.
Monitor daily and long-term progress, export data to share with healthcare providers, synchronize data with other First Line Medical Communications Ltd nutrient counter apps, and share data with Apple's HealthKit.
Add your own foods and recipes and change serving sizes to personalize the app's 400-item database for you.
The app also provides nutritional information for many healthy foods and supports a healthy gut microbiome diet using color-coded type and icons as follows:
1. Plants that can be included as one of the 30 different types of plants per week recommended by experts for a healthy gut microbiome are in green type with a green leaf icon in the food popups. The most prebiotic plants (ie, those that are particularly beneficial for the gut microbiome) are in a darker green type.
2. Fermented foods that contain beneficial live microbes to become part of the gut microbiome (probiotics) are in gold type with a gold microbe icon in the food popups.
3. Foods that are likely to be ultra-processed (UPFs) — ie, contain ingredients not found in a home kitchen (eg, preservatives, flavorings, and emulsifiers) likely to harm the gut microbiome are in red type with a red warning triangle in the food popups. UPFs cause obesity for a variety of reasons and their harmful effect on the gut microbiome is linked to inflammation and many diseases including type 2 diabetes, high LDL "bad" cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, inflammatory diseases, cancer, depression, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's dementia and Parkinson's disease.
4. Foods that are neither plant, prebiotic, probiotic nor UPF are in black type and are healthy when consumed as part of a healthy diet.
