HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vitamin K 2 by Signature Supplements

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 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 K2, which supports blood clotting and bone health, and nattokinase, an enzyme derived from fermented soy. The capsule also contains inactive ingredients (cellulose and diatomaceous earth) as fillers and capsule material.

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: Helps body transport calcium.
  • We looked for evidence on: Osteoporosis, Hemorrhagic disease, Hypoprothrombinemia, Intraventricular hemorrhage, Vitamin K-dependent clotting factors deficiency (VKCFD), Warfarin anticoagulation — 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 K2 is effective for treating vitamin K deficiency, vitamin K-dependent clotting factor deficiency, warfarin anticoagulation reversal, and hemorrhagic disease. It's possibly effective for osteoporosis.

Nattokinase, however, lacks reliable evidence for any of its claimed uses — the data we hold shows insufficient evidence for angina, atherosclerosis, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and chronic fatigue syndrome.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Vitamin K Nattokinase

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 K2 is generally well tolerated in food and typical supplement amounts; the most common side effects are mild gastrointestinal issues like nausea, diarrhea, and stomach upset. Nattokinase is generally tolerated short-term, but because it thins the blood, it carries a bleeding risk and warrants caution in anyone with bleeding disorders.

Nattokinase safety data during pregnancy is not sufficient — the facts advise against use. Nattokinase should be avoided while breastfeeding due to insufficient safety information.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Vitamin K Nattokinase

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 K, Nattokinase.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 289 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.

Do not use this product if you take warfarin without medical supervision — Vitamin K2 will directly oppose its effect. Double-check with your pharmacist if you take blood thinners (like aspirin, apixaban, or dabigatran) or blood pressure medications; nattokinase may increase bleeding risk and lower your blood pressure further.

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.

Vitamin K2 may help if you have a clotting disorder or are trying to reverse warfarin — but that last use requires close medical supervision. Nattokinase has no solid evidence behind it and adds real bleeding and blood-pressure risks.

If you take warfarin, any blood thinner, or blood pressure medication, talk to your pharmacist or doctor before starting this product.

Vitamin K 2 by Signature Supplements: Common Questions

Does Vitamin K 2 by Signature Supplements interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Vitamin K 2 has a known interaction with 289 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 2 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.
Can I take this with warfarin?
No, not without your doctor's close supervision. Vitamin K2 directly antagonizes warfarin's blood-thinning effect and can make it ineffective. This is a Major-severity interaction. Talk to your prescriber before adding this product.
What are the side effects of Vitamin K2?
Orally, it's generally well tolerated. The most common side effects are mild gastrointestinal ones — nausea, diarrhea, and stomach upset. Serious reactions are rare.
Can I take this while pregnant?
Vitamin K2 is likely safe in pregnancy. Nattokinase, however, does not have enough safety data — the facts advise against it. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
Data on nattokinase safety while breastfeeding is not available, and the facts advise against use. Vitamin K2 safety during breastfeeding is not detailed in our data — ask your pharmacist.
What does nattokinase actually do?
Nattokinase is an enzyme from fermented soy. We don't have reliable evidence it works for any condition — claims about angina, heart disease, atherosclerosis, cancer, and fatigue all lack sufficient proof in our data.
Is this safe if I take blood pressure medication?
Not without checking first. Nattokinase may lower your blood pressure further, increasing the risk of dizziness or fainting. Ask your pharmacist to review your specific medication before starting.
