HelloPharmacist Scorecard of KD Ultra by Arthur Andrew Medical

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

Partial disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Partial

Most active ingredients list an amount, but at least one is hidden in a blend or missing.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 5 of its 6 active ingredients.
  • “Vitamin K2” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (1,600 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

KD Ultra contains 6 ingredients: three forms of vitamin K (vitamin K, menaquinone-4, and menaquinone-7), lipase (an enzyme that helps break down fats), vitamin D3, and a blend containing MK-6 and MK-9. Vitamin K supports blood clotting and bone health; lipase aids fat digestion.

The other ingredients are cellulose and rice dextrin, which are inactive fillers.

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: bone and blood health support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Hemorrhagic disease, Hypoprothrombinemia, Osteoporosis, Vitamin K-dependent clotting factors deficiency (VKCFD), Warfarin anticoagulation, bone density — and 2 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 K in this product is effective for blood clotting disorders like vitamin K-dependent clotting factors deficiency and hemorrhagic disease, and it's effective at managing warfarin anticoagulation when dosed properly under medical supervision. For osteoporosis, vitamin K is rated possibly effective.

Lipase's effectiveness for inflammatory bowel disease or indigestion is not well established — we hold insufficient reliable evidence to rate it. Vitamin D3 and the MK-6/MK-9 blend effectiveness data isn't on file.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Vitamin K Lipase

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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Vitamin K is generally well tolerated orally. The most common side effects are mild: nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea — a small number of people experience these.

Vitamin K is likely safe in pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Lipase has no reported adverse effects in adults, though safety data in pregnancy and breastfeeding is limited — if you're pregnant or nursing, check with your doctor first.

Because we hold little safety data on the vitamin D3 and MK-6/MK-9 components in pregnancy or breastfeeding, discuss those with your healthcare provider if you're in either situation.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Vitamin K Lipase

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 2 matched ingredients 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.

Check before taking this product if you use warfarin (Coumadin) or any blood thinner. Vitamin K can reduce how well these medications work at preventing clots.

We could not verify interactions for vitamin D3 and MK-6/MK-9, so ask your pharmacist to screen those ingredients against your other medications as well.

The bottom line

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

This product is mainly a vitamin K supplement paired with lipase and vitamin D3. If you take warfarin or any other blood thinner, you must talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it — vitamin K can interfere with those medications.

For anyone else, it's generally well tolerated, though mild digestive upset can happen. Run your medications through the search tool on this page, and check with your own doctor or pharmacist before you start.

Formula

Vitamin K is essential for maintaining the body's calcium balance which is critical for bone and blood health, while Vitamin D promotes bone health, cognitive function, and immune support. Several different forms of Vitamin K2 exist, ranging from MK4 to MK13, each providing unique health benefits. Until recently, only MK4 and MK7 were available in supplements. KD Ultra now supplies a full-spectrum blend of four available forms of Vitamin K2 (MK-4, 6, 7, 9), along with Vitamin K1. KD Ultra also contains vegan-friendly Vitamin D3 sourced from lichen as well as the enzyme lipase to help facilitate the absorption of these fat-soluble vitamins. This perfect blend maintains proper blood clotting, healthy blood viscosity, strong bones, normal brain and nervous system health, and a healthy immune system, all in one easy-to-take supplement.

Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
