HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Natural Vitamin K2 MK-7 with MenaQ7 45 mcg by Doctor's Best
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: vitamin K2 (as MenaQ7) at 45 micrograms per capsule. Vitamin K2 is a form of vitamin K that your body uses to activate proteins involved in blood clotting and bone mineralization.
The capsule also contains inactive ingredients — microcrystalline cellulose, modified cellulose, glycerol monostearate, magnesium stearate, ascorbyl palmitate, and rosemary extract — which serve as binders, fillers, and preservatives.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Vitamin K2 is effective for treating vitamin K deficiency conditions, including low blood clotting factors (hypoprothrombinemia and vitamin K-dependent clotting factors deficiency) and hemorrhagic disease. For osteoporosis, the evidence shows it is possibly effective — meaning there is some research support, but more evidence is needed to confirm benefit.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Taken by mouth, vitamin K is generally well tolerated. The most common side effects are mild: nausea, diarrhea, stomach upset, and abdominal pain.
These occur in a small number of people. The safety data rates vitamin K as likely safe in pregnancy and lactation.
That said, normal dietary amounts are fine, but you should check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking supplements of any kind.
Meds to double-check
Major interaction found
Before taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take warfarin (Coumadin) or any other blood thinner medication. Vitamin K can reduce their effectiveness, and your doses may need adjustment.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This supplement is a straightforward source of vitamin K2 for people whose diets may be low in it or who have a documented vitamin K deficiency. If you take warfarin or any other blood thinner, you must talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — vitamin K can interfere with how these drugs work.
For anyone else, it's generally well tolerated, though some people may experience mild digestive upset.

Formula
Doctor’s Best Natural Vitamin K2 MK-7 with MenaQ7 provides the natural form of vitamin K for optimum bioavailability and delivery to the body.
Vitamin K isn’t one vitamin, it’s a family of fat-soluble vitamins with similar chemical structures but different metabolic properties. K2 belongs to a group of vitamin K compounds called menaquinones, which show greater bioactivity when compared to K1, the ordinary supplemental form. K2 is absorbed more completely, remains in the body longer and delivers more benefits for bones, blood vessels and other soft tissues.
