HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vitamin K2 100 mcg by Amazon Elements

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, at 100 micrograms per capsule. Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin your body uses to activate proteins involved in blood clotting and bone health.

The capsule also contains microcrystalline cellulose, vegetable capsule material, organic rice hull concentrate, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide — these are inactive ingredients that help form and stabilize the supplement.

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 health and blood clotting support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Hemorrhagic disease, Hypoprothrombinemia, Intraventricular hemorrhage, Osteoporosis, 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 K2 is effective for treating vitamin K deficiency conditions, including low levels of clotting factors and hemorrhagic disease (serious bleeding problems). It's also effective for managing warfarin-related clotting issues under medical supervision.

For osteoporosis, the evidence suggests it may help, though more research is needed to be certain.

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 most people. The most common side effects are mild — nausea, stomach upset, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.

These occur in a small number of users. Pregnancy and lactation: Vitamin K2 is considered likely safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

That said, normal dietary amounts are appropriate; talk with your doctor before taking supplements if you're pregnant or nursing.

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.

If you take warfarin or any blood thinner (anticoagulant), do not start this supplement without checking with your doctor or pharmacist first. Vitamin K directly opposes warfarin's effect and can reduce how well it protects you from blood 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 K2 may be worth considering if you have a vitamin K deficiency or want to support bone health — but not if you take blood thinners like warfarin. Anyone on anticoagulants should talk with their doctor or pharmacist before starting this or any vitamin K supplement.

For everyone else, a brief conversation with your healthcare provider is smart before you begin.
