HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vitamin K2 100 mcg by Absorb Health

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 supplement contains one active ingredient: vitamin K2, a form of vitamin K found naturally in fermented foods and some animal products. Vitamin K plays a role in bone mineralization and blood clotting.

The capsule itself is made from gelatin, microcrystalline cellulose (a plant-based filler), and silica.

Does it work?

Moderate 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
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Bone health support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Osteoporosis, Bone density, Bone strength, Fracture prevention.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Vitamin K is rated "Possibly Effective" for Osteoporosis (Natural Medicines).

Vitamin K2 is effective for preventing and treating bleeding disorders caused by vitamin K deficiency, such as hypoprothrombinemia (a clotting factor shortage) and hemorrhagic disease. It's also effective for managing clotting factors when needed clinically.

For osteoporosis, the evidence is limited — we have a "possibly effective" rating, meaning the research shows promise but isn't conclusive yet.

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 — nausea, diarrhea, and stomach upset.

The safety data we hold notes that normal dietary amounts are fine, but you should check with your doctor before taking supplements. Vitamin K2 is likely safe in pregnancy and lactation, though you should confirm with your provider.
