HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vitamin K1 100 mcg by Swanson
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 K1, a fat-soluble vitamin your body uses to make clotting factors and support bone health. The tablet also includes inactive ingredients — microcrystalline cellulose, stearic acid, croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate, silica, hypromellose, and glycerin — which are binders, fillers, and coating agents.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Vitamin K1 is effective for treating low levels of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors and for correcting certain bleeding disorders. It's also effective as a remedy when warfarin anticoagulation needs to be reversed.
For osteoporosis, the evidence suggests it may be effective, though the data isn't as strong as it is for clotting disorders.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Orally, vitamin K1 is generally well tolerated by healthy people at typical dietary and supplement amounts. The most common side effects are mild gastrointestinal issues — nausea, stomach upset, abdominal pain, and diarrhea — and these occur in a small number of people.
The safety data notes that normal dietary amounts are fine, but you should check with your doctor before taking supplements, particularly if you have any underlying health conditions.
Meds to double-check
Major interaction found
The major interaction is with warfarin (Coumadin) and other blood thinners — vitamin K reduces their effect. If you take any anticoagulant medication, check it against our tool below before you start.
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 straightforward for most people, but if you're on a blood thinner like warfarin, you need to talk to your pharmacist or doctor first. Even food-sourced vitamin K can affect how warfarin works, so a consistent dose matters.
For anyone else, side effects are generally mild and rare.
