HelloPharmacist Scorecard of MK-7 Vitamin K-2 Extra Strength - 300 mcg by NOW

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 product contains one active ingredient: vitamin K-2, a fat-soluble vitamin your body uses to make clotting factors and support bone health. Each capsule delivers 300 micrograms.

The other ingredients — microcrystalline cellulose, hypromellose, silicon dioxide, and medium-chain triglycerides — are inactive ingredients that help form and deliver the capsule.

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: strong healthy bones and blood coagulation.
  • We looked for evidence on: Osteoporosis, Hemorrhagic disease, Hypoprothrombinemia, Vitamin K-dependent clotting factors deficiency (VKCFD), Warfarin anticoagulation, Bone density — 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.

The evidence supports vitamin K-2 for correcting vitamin K deficiency, including low clotting factors (hypoprothrombinemia and vitamin K-dependent clotting factor deficiency) and hemorrhagic disease. It's also rated effective for managing warfarin dosing when that's medically necessary.

For bone health, the data rates it possibly effective for osteoporosis, meaning there's some promise but the evidence isn't conclusive yet.

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.

Taken by mouth, vitamin K-2 is generally well tolerated in most healthy people at typical doses. The most common side effects are mild: nausea, diarrhea, stomach upset, and abdominal pain.

Because this supplement can interfere with blood thinners, the safety notes advise checking with your doctor before taking supplements — normal dietary amounts are fine, but a concentrated supplement is different. The data on pregnancy and lactation rates vitamin K as likely safe, though as always, discuss any supplement with your obstetrician or midwife during pregnancy.

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 acenocoumarol, this is a Major interaction — your blood thinner's effectiveness can drop significantly. Talk to your pharmacist before adding this supplement; your doctor may need to adjust your dose or monitor you more closely.

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.

If you have a vitamin K deficiency or your doctor has prescribed vitamin K, this supplement is supported by evidence. If you take warfarin or another blood thinner, do not use this product without talking to your pharmacist or doctor first — the vitamin K can make your blood thinner less effective.

For anyone else, it's generally well tolerated at this dose.
