HelloPharmacist Scorecard of K2 100 mcg by Nature Made

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 product contains one active ingredient: vitamin K2 at 100 micrograms per softgel. Vitamin K2 is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a role in blood clotting and bone mineralization.

The softgel also contains soybean oil, gelatin, glycerin, water, and carmine as inactive ingredients — these are the capsule and carrier materials that hold the vitamin.

Does it work?

Moderate 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
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: helps support healthy bones.
  • We looked for evidence on: Osteoporosis, Bone density, Bone strength, Fracture prevention.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Vitamin K is rated "Possibly Effective" for Osteoporosis (Natural Medicines).

Vitamin K2 is rated effective for conditions involving vitamin K deficiency and clotting problems — including low prothrombin (a clotting protein), vitamin K–dependent clotting factor deficiency, and hemorrhagic disease (bleeding disorders). For osteoporosis, the evidence is rated possibly effective, meaning there's some promise but the data isn't conclusive yet.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Vitamin K

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • 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 most people. The most common side effects are mild: nausea, diarrhea, stomach upset, and abdominal pain — these occur in a small number of users.

The safety notes advise that normal dietary amounts are fine, but you should check with your doctor before taking supplements. This product is rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation.

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.

If you take warfarin (Coumadin) or any other blood thinner (anticoagulant), check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product — vitamin K2 can reduce its effectiveness. This is the only medication type with documented interactions in our data for this ingredient.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

K2 is a straightforward way to get vitamin K2 if you need it for clotting or bone health and your doctor agrees. If you're on warfarin or another blood thinner, do not take this without talking to your prescriber first — vitamin K can interfere with how those drugs work.

Check with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting, especially if you take any anticoagulants.
