HelloPharmacist Scorecard of K2-7 by Vital Nutrients

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.
  • “Vitamin K2-7” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (180 mcg) without saying how much of each component you get.

K2-7 is a single-ingredient supplement: menaquinone-7, which is a form of vitamin K2. Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin your body uses to activate proteins involved in blood clotting and bone health.

The product also contains inactive ingredients — cellulose, ascorbyl palmitate, and leucine — which are fillers and binders.

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: Vitamin K for blood clotting and bone health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Hemorrhagic disease, Hypoprothrombinemia, Intraventricular hemorrhage, Vitamin K-dependent clotting factors deficiency (VKCFD), Warfarin anticoagulation, Osteoporosis — and 3 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.

Menaquinone-7 is Effective for treating vitamin K deficiency conditions: hypoprothrombinemia (a blood-clotting disorder), vitamin K-dependent clotting factor deficiency, warfarin anticoagulation management, and hemorrhagic disease. It is Possibly Effective for osteoporosis.

The evidence for bone health is not as strong as for clotting disorders.

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.

Vitamin K taken by mouth is generally well tolerated in healthy people at normal dietary amounts. The most common side effects are mild: nausea, diarrhea, stomach upset, and abdominal pain — a small number of trial participants experienced these.

Intravenous forms (not this product) can rarely cause severe allergic reactions, but that's not a concern with oral supplements. Vitamin K is rated Likely Safe in pregnancy and lactation.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Vitamin K

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 blood thinner, do not start this product without checking with your pharmacist or doctor first. Vitamin K directly interferes with blood-thinning medications, and consistency matters — you can't change your intake without risking your clotting control.

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.

K2-7 is straightforward if you're not on warfarin or other blood thinners — it's a simple, well-tolerated source of vitamin K2. If you are on a blood thinner, you must check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it, because vitamin K can interfere with how those drugs work.

Most people tolerate it well, but nausea or mild stomach upset can happen.

K2-7 by Vital Nutrients: Common Questions

Does K2-7 by Vital Nutrients interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, K2-7 has a known interaction with 2 medications, including 2 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
K2-7 contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
What is menaquinone-7 and why is it in this supplement?
Menaquinone-7 is a form of vitamin K2. Your body uses vitamin K to activate proteins that help your blood clot and may support bone health. This supplement delivers that nutrient in a dose form beyond what food alone typically provides.
Can I take this if I'm on warfarin or another blood thinner?
Not without talking to your doctor or pharmacist first. Vitamin K can reduce how well blood thinners work, which is a Major interaction. Your provider needs to know before you start, and you'll need to keep your vitamin K intake steady if you do take it.
What side effects might I notice?
Orally, vitamin K is generally well tolerated. The most common side effects are mild — nausea, diarrhea, stomach upset, and abdominal pain — and not everyone experiences them. Serious side effects from this form are very rare.
Is this safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Yes — vitamin K is rated Likely Safe in pregnancy and lactation. Still, talk with your doctor or midwife about whether you need a supplement, since you're getting vitamin K from food.
Does this supplement really work for bone health?
The evidence suggests it's Possibly Effective for osteoporosis, but it's not as well proven as it is for blood-clotting disorders. Bone health typically requires a full picture — calcium, vitamin D, exercise, and overall diet matter too.
