HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vitamin K2 Softgel by KR

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This softgel contains one active ingredient: Vitamin K2, a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a key role in blood clotting and bone metabolism. The softgel itself is made up of inactive ingredients—sunflower seed oil, gelatin, glycerin, and purified water—which help deliver the vitamin in an easy-to-swallow form.

Does it work?

Strong evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Strong

Clinical evidence supports at least one of this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Supplement Vitamin K.
  • We looked for evidence on: Hemorrhagic disease, Hypoprothrombinemia, Intraventricular hemorrhage, Vitamin K-dependent clotting factors deficiency (VKCFD), Warfarin anticoagulation, Cardiovascular disease (CVD) — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Vitamin K is rated "Effective" for Hemorrhagic disease (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Vitamin K is rated "Effective" for Hypoprothrombinemia, Warfarin anticoagulation, Vitamin K-dependent clotting factors deficiency (VKCFD).
  • Also on file: Vitamin K is rated "Possibly Effective" for Osteoporosis.

Vitamin K2 is effective for treating vitamin K deficiency conditions, including hypoprothrombinemia (a clotting disorder), vitamin K-dependent clotting factor deficiency, warfarin-related anticoagulation, and hemorrhagic disease. The evidence also suggests it may be effective for osteoporosis, though the data is rated as possibly effective rather than definitive.

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Taken by mouth, vitamin K is generally well tolerated in healthy people at dietary amounts and typical supplement doses. The most common side effects are mild: diarrhea, nausea, and stomach upset.

The safety data advises that normal dietary amounts are fine, but you should check with your doctor before taking supplements, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or take medications.

Meds to double-check

Major interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Major identified

At least one ingredient has a documented Major-severity interaction. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Vitamin K.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 2 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before you take this, double-check if you're on warfarin (Coumadin) or any other blood thinner. Vitamin K can weaken warfarin's effect, which is a Major concern.

If you're unsure whether your medication is affected, use the drug checker on this page with your exact medication names.
