HelloPharmacist Scorecard of K2-45 by XYMOGEN
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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
K2-45 is a single-ingredient supplement: vitamin K2, a form of vitamin K that your body uses for blood clotting and bone health. The capsule also contains several inactive ingredients — microcrystalline cellulose, hypromellose, water, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, and silica — which help form and stabilize the capsule.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Vitamin K2 is effective for treating vitamin K-dependent clotting factor deficiency (VKCFD), hypoprothrombinemia (a rare bleeding disorder), hemorrhagic disease, and managing warfarin anticoagulation when medically indicated. It's also possibly effective for osteoporosis, though the evidence here is less established.
Talk with your doctor about whether this supplement is right for your specific health goal.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Taken by mouth, vitamin K is generally well tolerated in most people. The most common side effects are mild: some people experience nausea, stomach upset, abdominal pain, or diarrhea.
Vitamin K is rated as likely safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. That said, the safety notes advise checking with your doctor before taking supplements, even though normal dietary amounts are fine — this is especially important if you're on any blood thinner or have a clotting condition.
Meds to double-check
Major interaction found
If you take warfarin (Coumadin) or any blood thinner, check with your pharmacist before using this product. Vitamin K can interfere with how warfarin works and potentially increase your clot risk.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
K2-45 is a straightforward vitamin K2 supplement useful for clotting disorders and possibly bone health. If you take warfarin or another blood thinner, you must talk to your pharmacist or doctor before starting — vitamin K can reduce how well these drugs work.
Otherwise, it's generally well tolerated.

HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
XYMOGEN K2-45 contains vitamin K2, which has a Major interaction with warfarin (Coumadin) and related blood thinners.
Vitamin K directly antagonizes warfarin's anticoagulant effect — it can reverse the drug's ability to thin your blood, potentially putting you at risk for clots. Even modest changes in vitamin K intake can reduce warfarin's effectiveness, so this isn't something to add without checking with your doctor or pharmacist first.
