HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vitamin K 100 mcg by GNC
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 K at 100 micrograms per tablet. The remaining ingredients—dicalcium phosphate and cellulose—are inactive excipients that help form and bind the tablet.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Vitamin K is effective for treating vitamin K-dependent clotting factor deficiency, hypoprothrombinemia (a bleeding disorder), and hemorrhagic disease. It's also rated possibly effective for osteoporosis.
The evidence we hold does not establish effectiveness for other uses.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Taken by mouth, vitamin K is generally well tolerated in healthy people at typical dietary and supplement doses. The most common side effects are mild gastrointestinal complaints—nausea, stomach upset, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.
Serious adverse effects are rare. As a general rule, normal dietary amounts of vitamin K are fine, but the safety data advises checking with your doctor before taking supplements.
Meds to double-check
Major interaction found
If you take warfarin (Coumadin) or any blood thinner, check with your pharmacist or doctor before using this supplement. Vitamin K can reduce how well these medications work.
We could not fully evaluate interactions with all other medications; run your complete list through the checker on this page.
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 take warfarin or any blood thinner, do not start this product without talking to your pharmacist or doctor first—vitamin K can weaken the drug's effect. For other uses and healthy people not on blood thinners, it's generally well tolerated, though mild stomach upset can happen.

Vitamin K 100 mcg by GNC Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
GNC Vitamin K 100 mcg has a major interaction with warfarin (Coumadin), a blood thinner.
Vitamin K can reverse warfarin's effect and reduce its ability to prevent clots—exactly what you don't want if you're taking it for a heart condition or stroke prevention.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
The interaction happens because vitamin K directly antagonizes how warfarin works. Even moderate changes in your vitamin K intake from supplements can weaken the drug's protective effect.
If you take warfarin, you need to talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this supplement—you may need a dose adjustment or closer monitoring.
Additionally, we documented no interactions with other medications for vitamin K itself, but warfarin is the critical one to address. Run your complete medication list through the interaction checker below to be sure.
