HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vitamin K 100 mcg by Superior Source

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

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: vitamin K at 100 micrograms per tablet. Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin your body uses to make clotting factors and support bone mineralization.

The tablet also contains inactive ingredients — lactose, calcium phosphate, and acacia gum — which serve as binders and fillers.

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: Vitamin K nutritional support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Hemorrhagic disease, Hypoprothrombinemia, Intraventricular hemorrhage, Vitamin K-dependent clotting factors deficiency (VKCFD), Warfarin anticoagulation, Osteoporosis — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Vitamin K is rated "Effective" for Hemorrhagic disease (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Vitamin K is rated "Effective" for Hypoprothrombinemia, Warfarin anticoagulation, Vitamin K-dependent clotting factors deficiency (VKCFD).
  • Also on file: Vitamin K is rated "Possibly Effective" for Osteoporosis.

Vitamin K is effective for treating clotting factor deficiencies and reversing warfarin anticoagulation when medically necessary. It's also been shown effective for vitamin K-dependent clotting factor deficiency and hemorrhagic disease.

For osteoporosis, the evidence is less established — vitamin K is rated as possibly effective, meaning more research is needed to confirm a real benefit.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient 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 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Taken by mouth, vitamin K is generally well tolerated in healthy people at typical supplement doses. The most common side effects are mild gastrointestinal ones — nausea, stomach upset, abdominal pain, and diarrhea — reported in a small number of people.

The safety data notes that normal dietary amounts are fine, but you should check with your doctor before taking supplements, especially if you have any medical conditions or take medications.

Vitamin K 100 mcg by Superior Source: Common Questions

Does Vitamin K 100 mcg by Superior Source 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 Vitamin K if I'm on warfarin?
Not without talking to your doctor first. Vitamin K directly counteracts warfarin and can reduce how well it prevents clots. Your doctor may still recommend it in some situations, but they'll need to monitor you carefully.
What are the side effects?
Taken by mouth, the most common ones are mild — nausea, stomach upset, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. These are not serious, but if they bother you, tell your pharmacist.
Is this safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Yes — vitamin K is rated as likely safe during pregnancy and lactation. That said, any supplement decision in pregnancy should be discussed with your doctor or midwife.
Does vitamin K really help with osteoporosis?
The evidence is mixed. Vitamin K is rated as possibly effective for osteoporosis, meaning we have some promising data but need more research to say for sure. Talk to your doctor about whether it makes sense for your situation.
How much vitamin K is in food versus this supplement?
The product facts don't tell us how this 100 mcg dose compares to typical dietary intake, but the safety notes say normal dietary amounts are fine — it's supplements you should check about with your doctor.
