HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vegan K2 + D3 by NATURELO Premium Supplements

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

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 2 of its 8 active ingredients.
  • “Organic Whole Food Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (30 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Vegan K2 + D3 contains 8 ingredients, including two stand-out actives: Vitamin K2 and Vitamin D3. The formula rounds out with whole-food sources — organic kale, broccoli, spinach, kiwi, avocado, and Swiss chard — plus an organic whole food blend.

There's one inactive ingredient, hypromellose, a capsule material. The product leans on plant-based nutrients rather than synthetic isolates, though the exact amount of K2 and D3 per serving isn't listed in the facts on file.

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 immune support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Fall prevention, Fractures, Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Vitamin D deficiency, Vitamin K deficiency, Vascular health — and 1 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Vitamin D is rated "Effective" for Vitamin D deficiency (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Vitamin D is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Fractures.
  • Also on file: Avocado is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Vitamin D3 is well-established for treating vitamin D deficiency and related bone disorders like rickets and osteomalacia. Vitamin K2 is effective for managing vitamin K deficiency and supporting clotting function.

Beyond those clinical uses, the effectiveness of these ingredients for other conditions — and the effectiveness of the whole-food ingredients in this formula — has insufficient reliable evidence in our data. Avocado is possibly effective for high cholesterol, but the evidence for broccoli, kale, spinach, and kiwi for their marketed uses remains unproven.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Vitamin D Kale Broccoli Spinach Kiwi Avocado 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 6 of the 7 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 7 of 7.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 7 of 7.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Vitamin D3 and the whole-food ingredients — kale, broccoli, spinach, avocado, and kiwi — are generally well tolerated in normal amounts. Vitamin D is safe at recommended doses but can cause toxicity if taken in very high amounts over time; symptoms include abnormally high calcium levels.

Broccoli and kiwi concentrates are less studied than their food forms. Kiwi can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals, including swelling of the lips and throat, hives, or rarely, anaphylaxis.

Avocado rarely causes severe allergic reactions in people with latex sensitivity or a delayed food-sensitivity reaction (FPIES) with vomiting and diarrhea. Vitamin K2 causes mild gastrointestinal upset — nausea, stomach pain, diarrhea — in some people.

For pregnancy and breastfeeding, dietary amounts of kale, broccoli, spinach, avocado, and vitamin K2 are considered likely safe; concentrated supplements of these ingredients have less safety data. Vitamin D3 is often used in pregnancy at recommended doses but should be taken only under your doctor's guidance.

At least one ingredient has a documented Major-severity interaction. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 6 of the 7 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Spinach, Avocado, Vitamin D, Kiwi, Vitamin K, among others.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications; heart-rhythm medications.
  • For scale: 1,030 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.

Before taking this product, check with your pharmacist if you're on: warfarin or other blood thinners (Major severity — vitamin K2 opposes warfarin directly; Moderate for spinach, kiwi, and avocado); thiazide diuretics, verapamil, diltiazem, digoxin, or atorvastatin (Moderate — vitamin D3 at high doses poses risks); antidiabetes or antihypertensive drugs (Moderate — spinach and kiwi may amplify effects); or drugs metabolized by CYP1A2 and CYP2A6 enzymes (Moderatebroccoli may reduce their effectiveness). Use the medication search tool on this page to verify your exact medications.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you take warfarin or other blood thinners, this product is not for you — the vitamin K2 will interfere directly with how your medication works. If you're on diabetes drugs, blood pressure medication, heart rhythm drugs, or cholesterol medication, talk to your pharmacist or doctor before starting, as several ingredients may amplify or reduce their effects.

For healthy people with no medications, this formula offers clinically proven D3 and K2 plus whole-food support, though concentrated forms of the vegetables have less safety data than their food equivalents.

For each ingredient in Vegan K2 + D3 with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Vitamin D38 drug types · 715 drugs

Aluminum

Vitamin D might increase aluminum absorption and toxicity, but this has only been reported in people with renal failure.
The protein that transports calcium across the intestinal wall can also bind and transport aluminum. This protein is stimulated by vitamin D, which may therefore increase aluminum absorption. This mechanism may contribute to increased aluminum levels and toxicity in people with renal failure, when they take vitamin D and aluminum-containing phosphate binders chronically.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Atorvastatin (Lipitor)

Vitamin D might reduce absorption of atorvastatin.
A small, low-quality clinical study shows that taking vitamin D reduces levels of atorvastatin and its active metabolites by up to 55%. However, while atorvastatin levels decreased, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels did not substantially change. Atorvastatin is metabolized in the gut by CYP3A4 enzymes, and researchers theorized that vitamin D might induce CYP3A4, causing reduced levels of atorvastatin. However, this proposed mechanism was not specifically studied.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Calcipotriene (Dovonex)

Taking calcipotriene with vitamin D increases the risk for hypercalcemia.
Calcipotriene is a vitamin D analog used topically for psoriasis. It can be absorbed in sufficient amounts to cause systemic effects, including hypercalcemia. Theoretically, combining calcipotriene with vitamin D supplements might increase the risk of hypercalcemia.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Digoxin (Lanoxin)

Theoretically, hypercalcemia induced by high-dose vitamin D can increase the risk of arrhythmia from digoxin.
High doses of vitamin D can cause hypercalcemia. Hypercalcemia increases the risk of fatal cardiac arrhythmias with digoxin. Avoid vitamin D doses above the tolerable upper intake level (4000 IU daily for adults) and monitor serum calcium levels in people taking vitamin D and digoxin concurrently.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Diltiazem (Cardizem, Others)

Theoretically, hypercalcemia induced by high-dose vitamin D can reduce the therapeutic effects of diltiazem for arrhythmia.
High doses of vitamin D can cause hypercalcemia. Hypercalcemia can reduce the effectiveness of verapamil in atrial fibrillation. Theoretically this could also occur with diltiazem. Avoid vitamin D doses above the tolerable upper intake level (4000 IU daily for adults) and monitor serum calcium levels in people taking vitamin D and diltiazem concurrently.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Thiazide Diuretics

Theoretically, taking thiazide diuretics and high-dose vitamin D can increase the risk of hypercalcemia.
Thiazide diuretics decrease urinary calcium excretion, which could lead to hypercalcemia if vitamin D supplements are taken concurrently. This has been reported in people being treated with vitamin D for hypoparathyroidism, and also in elderly people with normal parathyroid function who were taking a thiazide, vitamin D, and calcium-containing antacids daily.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Verapamil (Calan, Others)

Hypercalcemia induced by high-dose vitamin D can reduce the therapeutic effects of verapamil for arrhythmia.
Hypercalcemia due to high doses of vitamin D can reduce the effectiveness of verapamil in atrial fibrillation. Avoid vitamin D doses above the tolerable upper intake level (4000 IU daily for adults) and monitor serum calcium levels in people taking vitamin D and verapamil concurrently.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Vitamin D might induce CYP3A4 enzymes and reduce the bioavailability of CYP3A4 substrates.
There is some concern that vitamin D might induce CYP3A4. In vitro research suggests that vitamin D induces CYP3A4 transcription. Additionally, observational research has found that increased UV light exposure and serum vitamin D levels are associated with decreased serum levels of CYP3A4 substrates such as tacrolimus and sirolimus, while no association between UV light exposure or vitamin D levels and levels of mycophenolic acid, a non-CYP3A4 substrate, was found. A small, low-quality clinical study shows that taking vitamin D reduces levels of the CYP3A4 substrate atorvastatin and its active metabolites by up to 55%; however, the clinical effects of atorvastatin were not reduced. While researchers theorized that vitamin D might induce CYP3A4, this proposed mechanism was not specifically studied.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Kiwi2 drug types · 289 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Clinical research suggests that kiwi inhibits platelet aggregation. Theoretically, kiwi might increase the risk of bleeding when used with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs. Some anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs include aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), dalteparin (Fragmin), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, ticlopidine (Ticlid), warfarin (Coumadin), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Clinical research suggests that consuming kiwi reduces systolic and diastolic blood pressure in hypertensive individuals. Theoretically, concomitant use of kiwi and antihypertensive drugs may increase the risk of hypotension when used in combination with drugs that lower blood pressure. These include captopril (Capoten), enalapril (Vasotec), losartan (Cozaar), valsartan (Diovan), diltiazem (Cardizem), amlodipine (Norvasc), hydrochlorothiazide (HydroDiuril), furosemide (Lasix), and many others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Broccoli2 drug types · 187 drugs

Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, broccoli might reduce the levels and effects of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
Pharmacokinetic research in humans shows that eating 500 grams of fresh broccoli daily for 6-12 days can increase CYP1A2 activity by 10% to 200%. Induction of CYP1A2 activity by broccoli is attributed to its glucosinolate constituents.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Cytochrome P450 2A6 (Cyp2A6) Substrates

Theoretically, broccoli might reduce the levels and effects of drugs metabolized by CYP2A6.
Pharmacokinetic research in humans shows that eating 500 grams of broccoli daily for 6 days increases CYP2A6 activity by 135% to 550%. Induction of CYP2A6 activity is attributed to its glucosinolate constituents.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B

Spinach2 drug types · 88 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

There are claims that spinach leaves have hypoglycemic effects. Evidence from clinical research suggests that consumption of a spinach-rich meal reduces post-meal blood glucose levels. Theoretically, spinach might have additive effects with antidiabetes drugs and increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Monitor blood glucose levels closely. Dose adjustments might be necessary. Some antidiabetes drugs include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Spinach contains vitamin K, which can interfere with the activity of warfarin.
In human research, although eating spinach with one meal does not result in coagulation test results outside the therapeutic range, daily consumption for one week necessitates dose adjustment of warfarin. Individuals using anticoagulants should consume a consistent daily amount of spinach to maintain the effect of anticoagulant therapy.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Avocado1 drug type · 2 drugs

Warfarin (Coumadin)

Avocado may antagonize the anticoagulant effects of warfarin.
Avocado may antagonize the anticoagulant effects of warfarin; however, there has been only one case report of this interaction.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D

Vitamin K21 drug type · 2 drugs

Warfarin (Coumadin)

Vitamin K can antagonize and reverse the therapeutic effects of warfarin.
Vitamin K antagonizes the effects of warfarin. Excessive vitamin K intake, either from supplements or from changes in the diet, can reduce the anticoagulant effect of warfarin.

Vegan K2 + D3 by NATURELO Premium Supplements: Common Questions

Does Vegan K2 + D3 by NATURELO Premium Supplements interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Vegan K2 + D3 has a known interaction with 1,029 medications, including 2 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Vegan K2 + D3 contains 8 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Will this product interact with my warfarin?
Yes — vitamin K2 directly blocks warfarin's anticoagulant effect. Spinach, kiwi, and avocado also have documented interactions with warfarin. Do not take this product if you're on warfarin unless your doctor approves and monitors you closely.
Is it safe to take this if I'm on blood pressure medication?
Possibly not. Kiwi in this formula may lower blood pressure further, and vitamin D3 can interact with certain heart rhythm drugs at high doses. Check with your pharmacist before starting, especially if you're on verapamil, diltiazem, or a thiazide diuretic.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Dietary amounts of the whole-food ingredients — kale, broccoli, spinach, and avocado — are considered likely safe in pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Vitamin D3 and K2 are also likely safe at recommended amounts, but concentrated supplements have less safety data. Talk to your doctor or midwife before starting any supplement during pregnancy or lactation.
What does vitamin K2 actually do?
Vitamin K2 is essential for blood clotting and bone metabolism. It activates proteins that help your body use calcium properly. In our data, it's proven effective for vitamin K deficiency, clotting disorders, and possibly for osteoporosis.
Will this supplement make my vitamin D levels too high?
Vitamin D toxicity occurs only with very high doses taken over time. The amount in most supplements is far below the tolerable upper intake level of 4,000 IU daily for adults. However, if you already have high calcium levels or kidney disease, check with your doctor first.
Can I be allergic to kiwi in this product?
Yes — some people have allergic reactions to kiwi, ranging from mild swelling of the lips and mouth to severe anaphylaxis. If you have a known kiwi allergy, avoid this product. If you've never eaten kiwi and you're allergic to latex, talk to your pharmacist, as there's a potential cross-sensitivity.
