HelloPharmacist Scorecard of MK-7 90 mcg by Jarrow Formulas

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.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This single-ingredient softgel contains 90 mcg of vitamin K2 (MK-7), a form of vitamin K that your body uses to activate proteins involved in blood clotting and bone metabolism. The softgel itself is made from medium-chain triglyceride, bovine gelatin, glycerin, water, caramel, and olive oil.

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 health and cardiovascular support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Hemorrhagic disease, Hypoprothrombinemia, Intraventricular hemorrhage, Kidney transplant, Osteoporosis — and 4 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 K2 is effective for treating vitamin K deficiency conditions — including low blood-clotting factors (hypoprothrombinemia and vitamin K-dependent clotting factor deficiency) and hemorrhagic disease. The evidence for bone health is less established: it's possibly effective for osteoporosis, though the data we hold rates that benefit as uncertain.

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.

Orally, vitamin K is generally well tolerated in amounts found in food and most supplements for healthy people. The most common side effects are mild to moderate — nausea, diarrhea, stomach upset, and abdominal pain.

The safety data advises that you talk with your doctor before taking supplements, even though normal dietary amounts are fine. Vitamin K2 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 (anticoagulant), double-check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this product. Vitamin K can reduce how well these medications work, and you may need a different dose or extra monitoring.

Formula

Jarrow Formulas MK-7 is naturally made via fermentation by Bacillus subtilis subsp. natto and is much better absorbed than K1 from spinach. MK-7 is a longer-acting form of vitamin K versus K1 and MK-4, and better supports carboxylation of specific proteins needed to build bones and support cardiovascular health.

Can I take MK-7 if I'm on warfarin?

MK-7 is a form of vitamin K2 that your body absorbs and uses over a longer period than some other vitamin K forms. It's involved in blood clotting and bone metabolism.

The evidence suggests it possibly helps with osteoporosis, but the data isn't conclusive yet. It's definitely effective for treating actual vitamin K deficiencies.
Can I take this with other supplements?
We only have interaction data on file for warfarin and blood thinners. For any other medications or supplements you're on, run them through the checker on this page or ask your pharmacist.
