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 contains one active ingredient: vitamin K-2. Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin your body uses to make clotting factors — proteins that help your blood clot — and to support bone health.
The supplement is delivered in a softgel capsule with sunflower oil, gelatin, vegetable glycerin, and natural caramel color as inactive ingredients.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Vitamin K-2 is rated effective for treating vitamin K deficiency (hypoprothrombinemia), vitamin K-dependent clotting factor deficiency, and hemorrhagic disease — conditions where your body isn't making enough clotting proteins. It's also rated effective for managing warfarin anticoagulation when medically appropriate under a doctor's supervision.
For osteoporosis, the evidence is rated possibly effective, meaning there's some promise but more research is needed.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Taken by mouth, vitamin K is generally well tolerated in most people. The most common side effects are mild gastrointestinal: nausea, stomach upset, abdominal pain, and diarrhea — and only a small number of people experience them.
The safety data rates vitamin K as likely safe in pregnancy and lactation. That said, if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or take any medications (especially blood thinners), talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting a supplement, even at normal dietary doses.
Meds to double-check
Major interaction found
Check your medications against this product if you take warfarin (Coumadin) or any other blood thinner (anticoagulant) — this is a Major interaction. Even if warfarin is your only medication, get your doctor's OK before adding this supplement.
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.
This supplement is for people with vitamin K deficiency or certain clotting disorders, or those whose doctors are managing their warfarin dose with vitamin K in mind. If you take blood thinners like warfarin, do not use this without your doctor's approval — it can interfere with how your medication works.
Talk to your pharmacist before starting, especially if you're on any prescription drugs.
