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 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

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
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: supports blood clotting and bone and cardiovascular health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Hemorrhagic disease, Hypoprothrombinemia, Vitamin K-dependent clotting factors deficiency (VKCFD), Warfarin anticoagulation, Osteoporosis, Cardiovascular disease (CVD) — and 3 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 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
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Why this rating?

  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

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.

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?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Vitamin K.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 2 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.

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.
