HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vitamin K2 1% (MK-7) by BulkSupplements.com

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 a single active ingredient: vitamin K2 (also called menaquinone-7 or MK-7). It's a form of vitamin K that your body uses to activate proteins involved in blood clotting and bone metabolism.

The powder also contains dicalcium phosphate as an inactive ingredient.

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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Vitamin K's overall clinical evidence instead.

Strong

Strong clinical evidence supports Vitamin K for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Hemorrhagic disease — rated "Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Hypoprothrombinemia — rated "Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Warfarin anticoagulation — rated "Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Vitamin K-dependent clotting factors deficiency (VKCFD) — rated "Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Osteoporosis — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

Vitamin K2 is effective for treating vitamin K deficiency disorders, including low levels of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors and hemorrhagic disease (bleeding disorders due to clotting problems). It's also effective for managing anticoagulation when warfarin is being used.

For bone health, the evidence suggests it may be helpful for osteoporosis, though the data is not as strong.

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 K is generally well tolerated in healthy people. The most common side effects are mild gastrointestinal ones — nausea, diarrhea, stomach upset, and abdominal pain — and they occur in a small number of people.

While dietary amounts are fine, the safety notes advise checking with your doctor before you start a supplement, especially if you have any underlying health conditions. Vitamin K2 is likely safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

However, because this is a supplement and not a food source, talk with your OB or midwife before taking it if you're pregnant or nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Vitamin K

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 — this is a Major interaction and the reason to check first. Vitamin K can weaken warfarin's ability to prevent clots, so your doctor may need to adjust your dose or monitor you more closely if you take both.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with strong clinical evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Vitamin K2 is a solid choice if you have a documented vitamin K deficiency or your doctor recommends it for bone health. If you take warfarin or any other blood thinner, do not start this supplement without your doctor's approval — the interaction is serious.
