HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vitamin K1 100 mcg by The Vitamin Shoppe

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 K1 (phytonadione), a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a key role in blood clotting and bone metabolism. The tablet also includes inactive ingredients—dicalcium phosphate, microcrystalline cellulose, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, croscarmellose sodium, and an aqueous coating—which are binders, fillers, and protective coatings.

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: bone and cardiovascular health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Osteoporosis, Hemorrhagic disease, Hypoprothrombinemia, Vitamin K-dependent clotting factors deficiency (VKCFD), Warfarin anticoagulation — 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 K1 is effective for treating vitamin K deficiency disorders, including hypoprothrombinemia (a clotting factor deficit), vitamin K-dependent clotting factors deficiency (VKCFD), and hemorrhagic disease (dangerous bleeding). It's also effective for managing warfarin anticoagulation when dosing is coordinated with your doctor.

For osteoporosis, the evidence suggests it may help, but it's not conclusive enough to call it proven.

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 K1 is generally well tolerated in healthy people at typical dietary and supplement amounts. The most common side effects are mild gastrointestinal issues—nausea, diarrhea, and stomach upset—though these occur in only a small number of people.

The safety data advises checking with your doctor before starting a supplement, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are on medications.

  • 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.

If you take warfarin (Coumadin) or any blood thinner, stop and check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product. Vitamin K1 can directly reduce how well warfarin works to prevent 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 K1 is an effective option if you have a clotting deficiency or bleeding disorder—but it's a major concern if you take warfarin. If you're on a blood thinner, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this supplement; they may need to adjust your dose or advise against it.

Even if you're not on warfarin, it's worth confirming with your own healthcare provider that a supplement is right for you.

Vitamin K1 100 mcg by The Vitamin Shoppe: Common Questions

Does Vitamin K1 100 mcg by The Vitamin Shoppe interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Vitamin K1 100 mcg has a known interaction with 2 medications, including 2 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Vitamin K1 100 mcg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
What does vitamin K1 actually do in the body?
Vitamin K1 is essential for making blood clotting factors and also plays a role in bone health. Your body needs it to stop bleeding when you're injured and to maintain strong bones over time.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data rates vitamin K1 as likely safe during pregnancy and lactation. That said, any supplement during pregnancy or while nursing is an individual decision—talk it over with your doctor or midwife to make sure it's right for you.
What are the most common side effects?
Orally, vitamin K1 is generally well tolerated. The most common side effects are mild—nausea, diarrhea, and stomach upset—and occur in only a small number of people who take it.
Why do I need to be careful if I'm on warfarin?
Warfarin works by blocking vitamin K's effects in your body to prevent clots. If you take a vitamin K1 supplement, it can counteract the warfarin and make it less effective, putting you at risk for clots. Your doctor needs to know before you add it.
Is this product effective for osteoporosis?
The evidence suggests vitamin K1 may help with osteoporosis, but it's not conclusive enough to say it definitely works. If bone health is your goal, talk with your doctor about what the evidence supports for your situation.
