HelloPharmacist Scorecard of MK-7 150 mcg by Healthy Directions
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
This product contains one active ingredient: menaquinone-7 (marketed as MenaQ7), a form of vitamin K. The remaining ingredients — medium chain triglycerides, gelatin, glycerin, olive oil, and purified water — are inactive ingredients that form the softgel capsule and help deliver the vitamin K.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Vitamin K is effective for treating bleeding disorders caused by vitamin K deficiency and low clotting factors, and it's also effective for reversing warfarin anticoagulation when medically necessary. The evidence also suggests it may be possibly effective for osteoporosis, though the data here is not as strong.
If you're considering this supplement for bone health, talk it over with your doctor about whether the evidence supports it for your situation.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Taken by mouth, vitamin K is generally well tolerated in healthy people. The most common side effects are mild — nausea, diarrhea, and stomach upset — and they're not the norm.
The safety notes advise checking with your doctor before using supplements, even though dietary amounts are fine. Vitamin K is likely safe in pregnancy and while breastfeeding, so that's one less concern if you're in either situation.
Meds to double-check
Major interaction found
If you take warfarin (Coumadin) or any warfarin-based blood thinner, this is a major interaction — vitamin K will reduce how well warfarin works. Check with your doctor before starting this supplement.
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.
This supplement is a straightforward source of vitamin K in a single-ingredient softgel. It's generally well tolerated and effective for vitamin K deficiency and clotting disorders.
The critical catch: if you take warfarin or another blood thinner, you must talk with your doctor before starting — the interaction is major and could compromise your treatment. Otherwise, check your exact medications with the search tool on this page before you begin.
