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 K2 (MenaQ7 form). Vitamin K2 is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a key role in blood clotting and bone and vascular health.
The softgel also includes inactive ingredients — sunflower oil, gelatin, vegetable glycerin, and natural caramel color — to deliver the vitamin.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Vitamin K2 is effective for treating vitamin K deficiency conditions, including hypoprothrombinemia (a clotting disorder), vitamin K-dependent clotting factor deficiency, hemorrhagic disease, and correcting warfarin-related overanticoagulation. For osteoporosis, the evidence is possibly effective — it may help, but more research is needed to be sure.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Taken by mouth, vitamin K is generally well tolerated in healthy people. The most common side effects are mild gastrointestinal ones: nausea, stomach upset, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.
Dietary amounts are safe; if you want to take supplements, it's wise to check with your doctor first, especially if you take any medications. Vitamin K2 is considered likely safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding based on available data.
Meds to double-check
Major interaction found
Check with your pharmacist if you take warfarin (Coumadin) or any other blood thinner before starting this product. Vitamin K can reduce how well these medications work, putting you at risk for clots.
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 useful if you need it for a clotting disorder or if your doctor recommends it for bone health. If you take warfarin or any blood thinner, talk to your pharmacist before starting — this supplement can interfere with your medication.
For anyone else, a quick medication check beforehand is a smart move.
