Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains two active ingredients: vitamin D3 (50 mcg or 2,000 IU) and vitamin K2 (90 mcg). Both are fat-soluble vitamins that work together in bone and cardiovascular health.

The capsule also contains inactive ingredients — cellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, glycerol monostearate, magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, and an antioxidant blend — which are fillers and binders that help deliver the active vitamins.

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 support and cardiovascular health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Corticosteroid-induced osteoporosis, Fall prevention, Fractures, Frailty, Heart failure — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Vitamin D is rated "Likely Effective" for Corticosteroid-induced osteoporosis (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Vitamin D is rated "Possibly Effective" for Heart failure, Hyperparathyroidism-related bone loss.
  • Also on file: Vitamin K is rated "Possibly Effective" for Osteoporosis.

Vitamin D3 is established as effective for treating rickets, osteomalacia (soft bones), familial hypophosphatemia, renal bone disease, and hypoparathyroidism. Vitamin K2 is effective for vitamin K-dependent clotting factor deficiency, hypoprothrombinemia (low prothrombin levels), and warfarin anticoagulation.

K2 is also rated possibly effective for osteoporosis. The evidence we hold doesn't establish whether this particular combination works better together than either vitamin alone.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Vitamin D 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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Vitamin D3 is generally well tolerated at recommended doses, though very high doses over time can cause toxicity with symptoms of high blood calcium (hypercalcemia). Vitamin K is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth; the most common side effects are mild and gastrointestinal — nausea, diarrhea, stomach upset, and abdominal pain.

Serious side effects from either vitamin are rare at supplement doses. During pregnancy, vitamin D is often used at recommended amounts but should only be taken under your doctor's guidance; vitamin K is rated likely safe in pregnancy.

We hold no specific pregnancy or breastfeeding data for the K2 form in this product, so check with your doctor before using it if you're pregnant or nursing.

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?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Vitamin D, Vitamin K.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; heart-rhythm medications.
  • For scale: 716 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 or other blood thinners, talk to your pharmacist first — vitamin K2 directly interferes with how warfarin works. Also double-check if you're on heart rhythm medications (verapamil, diltiazem, digoxin), thiazide water pills, atorvastatin, or psoriasis treatments.

The dose in this product is low, but it's still worth confirming your medications.

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 product is a straightforward D3 + K2 combination at moderate doses. It's worth considering if you want bone support and your doctor hasn't flagged vitamin K concerns — especially if you're not on warfarin or other blood thinners.

Before you start, check with your pharmacist or doctor if you take heart rhythm drugs, water pills, cholesterol medications, or warfarin; these need a closer look with this product.

Vitamin D8 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

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.

Vitamin D3 + K2 50 mcg (2,000 IU) & 90 mcg by Carlson: Common Questions

Does Vitamin D3 + K2 50 mcg (2,000 IU) & 90 mcg by Carlson interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Vitamin D3 + K2 50 mcg (2,000 IU) & 90 mcg has a known interaction with 715 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?
Vitamin D3 + K2 50 mcg (2,000 IU) & 90 mcg contains 2 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 interfere with my warfarin?
Yes — vitamin K blocks warfarin's blood-thinning effect. Do not start this product if you take warfarin without talking to your pharmacist or doctor first. They'll need to adjust your dose or monitor you closely.
Is this safe to take every day?
At the dose in this product — 2,000 IU of D3 — yes, it's within safe daily limits for adults. Very high doses of vitamin D over time can cause problems, but this one is well below that threshold. Vitamin K is safe at this level too.
What's the difference between vitamin K and vitamin K2?
Vitamin K2 is one form of vitamin K that's believed to be better absorbed and more active in bone and heart health. The product facts show it's effective for clotting and possibly effective for osteoporosis, just like other vitamin K forms.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant?
Vitamin D at recommended doses is often used during pregnancy, but only under your doctor's direction. We don't have specific pregnancy safety data on file for the K2 form in this product, so ask your doctor or midwife before taking it.
What are the side effects?
At this dose, both vitamins are well tolerated. Vitamin K can occasionally cause mild stomach upset, nausea, or diarrhea. Serious side effects are very rare at supplement amounts.
Does this actually work for bone health?
Vitamin D3 is proven effective for rickets, osteomalacia, and other bone disorders. Vitamin K is proven effective for clotting and possibly effective for osteoporosis. Together, we don't have evidence they work better than either one alone.
