HelloPharmacist Scorecard of K2-D3 5000 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-D3 5000 contains two active ingredients: vitamin D3 and vitamin K2. Vitamin D3 supports calcium absorption and bone health, and is effective for treating rickets, osteomalacia (soft bones), renal bone disease, and hypoparathyroidism.
Vitamin K2 helps activate proteins involved in blood clotting and bone metabolism, and is effective for vitamin K-dependent clotting disorders and possibly helpful for osteoporosis. The product also includes inactive ingredients—hypromellose, water, microcrystalline cellulose, ascorbyl palmitate, and silica—which are capsule materials and stabilizers.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Vitamin D3 is effective for treating rickets, osteomalacia, renal osteodystrophy, and hypoparathyroidism. Vitamin K2 is effective for vitamin K-dependent clotting-factor deficiency and hypoprothrombinemia (low blood-clotting factors), and is possibly effective for osteoporosis—meaning some evidence suggests it may help, but the evidence isn't conclusive.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Vitamin D3 is generally well tolerated at recommended doses, but very high doses taken over time can cause vitamin D toxicity with symptoms like elevated blood calcium (hypercalcemia), brittle bones, and in children, slowed growth. Symptoms of toxicity can also include eye inflammation and light sensitivity.
Vitamin D can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding at recommended amounts, but only under your doctor's guidance. Vitamin K2 is generally safe in amounts found in food and most supplements, and is rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation.
The most common side effects from vitamin K2 taken by mouth are mild—diarrhea, nausea, and stomach upset—though these affect only a small number of people.
Meds to double-check
Major interaction found
Before you take K2-D3 5000, check your medications for the following: warfarin (a blood thinner)—vitamin K2 will work against it; thiazide diuretics, verapamil, diltiazem, and digoxin (heart and blood-pressure medications)—high-dose vitamin D can raise your blood calcium and reduce how well these drugs work; and atorvastatin (a cholesterol drug)—vitamin D may lower its levels. Many other medications are affected by vitamin D's enzyme effects; use the medication checker below to verify your specific drugs.
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-D3 5000 is a two-ingredient supplement for bone and clotting support. If you take warfarin, you must check with your pharmacist first—vitamin K2 directly opposes its blood-thinning effect.
If you take heart medications, blood-pressure pills, or cholesterol drugs, run them through the checker on this page before starting. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor about whether this product is right for you and at what dose.

Formula
K2-D3 5000 contains vitamin K2 as menaquinone-7 (MK-7) and vitamin D3 as cholecalciferol. These bioavailable vitamin forms work together to manage calcium stores in the body. D3 is a cofactor for calcium absorption, and K2 directs calcium away from blood vessels to the bones, supporting cardiovascular and bone health.

HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
XYMOGEN's K2-D3 5000 contains vitamin D3 and vitamin K2, and both have documented interactions with medications.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Vitamin K2 carries the most serious concern: it can work against warfarin (Coumadin), a blood thinner. Vitamin K directly antagonizes warfarin's anticoagulant effect, meaning even moderate changes in your K2 intake can reduce how well warfarin protects you from clots.
If you take warfarin, you need to discuss this product with your pharmacist or doctor before starting—it's not that you can't take it, but your warfarin dose may need adjustment and your blood-clotting time will need monitoring.
Vitamin D3 interacts with several medication types. High-dose vitamin D can raise calcium levels in your blood (a condition called hypercalcemia), which poses a Moderate risk with thiazide diuretics (water pills for blood pressure), the heart medications verapamil and diltiazem, and the heart drug digoxin—all of which can be less effective or cause dangerous heart rhythms when calcium runs too high.
Vitamin D may also reduce the absorption of the cholesterol drug atorvastatin, and theoretically can increase aluminum absorption in people with kidney disease. Additionally, vitamin D might induce liver enzymes that speed up the breakdown of many other drugs (CYP3A4 substrates), a Minor concern.
Altogether, these interactions span 705 individual medications. Use the medication checker on this page to look up your exact drugs before you start.

For each ingredient in K2-D3 5000 with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Vitamin D3
Aluminum
Vitamin D might increase aluminum absorption and toxicity, but this has only been reported in people with renal failure.
The protein that transports calcium across the intestinal wall can also bind and transport aluminum. This protein is stimulated by vitamin D, which may therefore increase aluminum absorption. This mechanism may contribute to increased aluminum levels and toxicity in people with renal failure, when they take vitamin D and aluminum-containing phosphate binders chronically.
Atorvastatin (Lipitor)
Vitamin D might reduce absorption of atorvastatin.
A small, low-quality clinical study shows that taking vitamin D reduces levels of atorvastatin and its active metabolites by up to 55%. However, while atorvastatin levels decreased, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels did not substantially change. Atorvastatin is metabolized in the gut by CYP3A4 enzymes, and researchers theorized that vitamin D might induce CYP3A4, causing reduced levels of atorvastatin. However, this proposed mechanism was not specifically studied.
Calcipotriene (Dovonex)
Taking calcipotriene with vitamin D increases the risk for hypercalcemia.
Calcipotriene is a vitamin D analog used topically for psoriasis. It can be absorbed in sufficient amounts to cause systemic effects, including hypercalcemia. Theoretically, combining calcipotriene with vitamin D supplements might increase the risk of hypercalcemia.
Digoxin (Lanoxin)
Theoretically, hypercalcemia induced by high-dose vitamin D can increase the risk of arrhythmia from digoxin.
High doses of vitamin D can cause hypercalcemia. Hypercalcemia increases the risk of fatal cardiac arrhythmias with digoxin. Avoid vitamin D doses above the tolerable upper intake level (4000 IU daily for adults) and monitor serum calcium levels in people taking vitamin D and digoxin concurrently.
Diltiazem (Cardizem, Others)
Theoretically, hypercalcemia induced by high-dose vitamin D can reduce the therapeutic effects of diltiazem for arrhythmia.
High doses of vitamin D can cause hypercalcemia. Hypercalcemia can reduce the effectiveness of verapamil in atrial fibrillation. Theoretically this could also occur with diltiazem. Avoid vitamin D doses above the tolerable upper intake level (4000 IU daily for adults) and monitor serum calcium levels in people taking vitamin D and diltiazem concurrently.
Thiazide Diuretics
Theoretically, taking thiazide diuretics and high-dose vitamin D can increase the risk of hypercalcemia.
Thiazide diuretics decrease urinary calcium excretion, which could lead to hypercalcemia if vitamin D supplements are taken concurrently. This has been reported in people being treated with vitamin D for hypoparathyroidism, and also in elderly people with normal parathyroid function who were taking a thiazide, vitamin D, and calcium-containing antacids daily.
Verapamil (Calan, Others)
Hypercalcemia induced by high-dose vitamin D can reduce the therapeutic effects of verapamil for arrhythmia.
Hypercalcemia due to high doses of vitamin D can reduce the effectiveness of verapamil in atrial fibrillation. Avoid vitamin D doses above the tolerable upper intake level (4000 IU daily for adults) and monitor serum calcium levels in people taking vitamin D and verapamil concurrently.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Vitamin D might induce CYP3A4 enzymes and reduce the bioavailability of CYP3A4 substrates.
There is some concern that vitamin D might induce CYP3A4. In vitro research suggests that vitamin D induces CYP3A4 transcription. Additionally, observational research has found that increased UV light exposure and serum vitamin D levels are associated with decreased serum levels of CYP3A4 substrates such as tacrolimus and sirolimus, while no association between UV light exposure or vitamin D levels and levels of mycophenolic acid, a non-CYP3A4 substrate, was found. A small, low-quality clinical study shows that taking vitamin D reduces levels of the CYP3A4 substrate atorvastatin and its active metabolites by up to 55%; however, the clinical effects of atorvastatin were not reduced. While researchers theorized that vitamin D might induce CYP3A4, this proposed mechanism was not specifically studied.
Vitamin K2
Warfarin (Coumadin)
Vitamin K can antagonize and reverse the therapeutic effects of warfarin.
Vitamin K antagonizes the effects of warfarin. Excessive vitamin K intake, either from supplements or from changes in the diet, can reduce the anticoagulant effect of warfarin.
