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

Vitamin K 100 mcg by GNC: Common Questions

Does Vitamin K 100 mcg by GNC interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Vitamin K 100 mcg has a known interaction with 2 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 K 100 mcg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism 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.
Can I take this if I'm on warfarin?
No—not without talking to your doctor first. Vitamin K directly opposes warfarin's blood-thinning effect and can make it less effective or stop working altogether. Your doctor may need to adjust your warfarin dose or switch your approach if you want to take vitamin K.
What side effects might I notice?
Taken by mouth, the most common ones are mild stomach troubles: nausea, diarrhea, stomach upset, and abdominal pain. These are usually mild and happen in a small number of people.
Is it safe to take during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
Yes—vitamin K is rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation. However, always mention any supplements you're taking to your obstetrician or midwife.
What does vitamin K actually do in the body?
Vitamin K is essential for making clotting factors—proteins that help your blood clot when you're injured. It's also involved in bone health. This product is effective for treating bleeding disorders caused by vitamin K deficiency or abnormal clotting factors.
Will this help my bones?
The evidence suggests vitamin K may help with osteoporosis, but we rate that as possibly effective—the science isn't conclusive yet. Talk with your doctor about whether it fits your bone health plan.
