HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vitamin K-2 Mena Q7 by DC
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 has one active ingredient: vitamin K2 (MenaQ7). Vitamin K2 is a form of vitamin K that plays a role in blood clotting and bone health.
The softgel also contains inactive ingredients — sunflower seed oil, gelatin, vegetable glycerin, and natural caramel color — to deliver the vitamin and create the capsule.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Vitamin K2 is effective for treating low blood vitamin K levels (hypoprothrombinemia), vitamin K-dependent clotting factor deficiency, and certain bleeding disorders. It's also rated possibly effective for osteoporosis, though the evidence is still being studied.
For bone health specifically, the data we hold shows only possible benefit, so it's not a proven treatment on its own.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Vitamin K taken by mouth is generally well tolerated. The most common side effects are mild: nausea, diarrhea, stomach upset, and abdominal pain.
Serious reactions are very rare and mostly tied to intravenous (IV) doses, not oral supplements like this one. Normal dietary amounts of vitamin K are fine, but the safety notes advise checking with your doctor before taking supplements — especially important if you're on blood thinners or have any medical conditions.
In pregnancy and breastfeeding, vitamin K is rated likely safe.
Meds to double-check
Major interaction found
Blood thinners (anticoagulants) — especially warfarin — need a conversation with your doctor before you start this product. Vitamin K can reduce their effectiveness and put you at risk.
Check your exact medications below.
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 is a solid choice if you need to correct a vitamin K deficiency or support clotting. If you take warfarin or any other blood thinner, you must talk to your pharmacist or doctor first — this supplement can weaken how well your medication works.
Everyone else should be fine, but run a quick check with us on any medications you take.
