HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vitamin K-2 vitaMK7 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.

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 (as MK-7). Vitamin K2 is a fat-soluble vitamin your body uses to activate proteins involved in blood clotting and bone mineralization.

The capsule also holds several inactive ingredients—vegetable cellulose, gelatin, silica, and vegetable magnesium stearate—which are standard fillers and binders that help hold the capsule together.

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, bone and cardiovascular health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Hemorrhagic disease, Hypoprothrombinemia, Intraventricular hemorrhage, Osteoporosis, Stroke — 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 rated Effective for correcting vitamin K deficiency conditions—hypoprothrombinemia (a blood-clotting disorder), vitamin K-dependent clotting factors deficiency, reversing warfarin's effects, and hemorrhagic disease (bleeding disorders). It's rated Possibly Effective for osteoporosis.

The evidence for bone health is weaker than for clotting disorders, so talk with your doctor if you're considering it for that reason.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Vitamin K

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 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • 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.

Taken by mouth, vitamin K2 is generally well tolerated in healthy people at dietary amounts and typical supplement doses. The most common side effects are mild: diarrhea, nausea, and stomach upset.

Serious adverse effects are very rare when taken orally. The safety data rates this ingredient Likely Safe in pregnancy and lactation, though the facts advise checking with your doctor before taking supplements rather than relying on food sources alone.

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?
  • 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.

Blood thinners (anticoagulants)—especially warfarin—are the main concern. Vitamin K can reverse warfarin's protective effect, which is a Major-severity interaction.
