HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vitamin K-2 100 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 K2, a fat-soluble nutrient that plays a role in blood clotting and bone metabolism. It comes with a handful of inactive ingredients — cane sugar, rice syrup, palm oil, soy lecithin, natural flavors, fruit and vegetable juice blend, citric acid, malic acid, and glycerin — which are excipients that help deliver and stabilize the supplement.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Vitamin K2 is effective for treating vitamin K deficiency states, including low blood clotting factor levels and hemorrhagic disease (serious bleeding problems). It is also effective for reversing the effects of warfarin when that's medically necessary.
For bone health, the evidence rates it as possibly effective for osteoporosis, meaning the data suggests a potential benefit but isn't conclusive yet.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Taken by mouth, vitamin K is generally well tolerated. The most common side effects are mild: nausea, diarrhea, stomach upset, and abdominal pain — usually mild to moderate.
Serious adverse reactions are rare and have been linked mainly to intravenous dosing in infants, not oral supplements in adults. The supplement is rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation, so if you're pregnant or nursing, the safety data doesn't advise against it — but do check with your doctor or midwife.
Meds to double-check
Major interaction found
Blood thinners — especially warfarin (Coumadin) — are the main concern. Vitamin K can reduce how well these drugs work, putting you at risk for clots.
Check your exact medications with the tool on this page and flag any anticoagulant or blood thinner before taking this product.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Vitamin K-2 is a straightforward supplement if you're not on blood thinners. If you take warfarin or any blood thinner, don't start this without talking to your prescriber — vitamin K can blunt its effect.
Otherwise, it's generally well tolerated with only mild digestive side effects in some people.
