HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vitamin K2 100 mcg by Bronson Basics

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 tablet. Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin that your body uses to make proteins involved in blood clotting and bone health.

The tablet also contains several inactive ingredients — microcrystalline cellulose, stearic acid, croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and polyethylene glycol — which help hold the tablet together and aid absorption.

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: Supports bone health and cardiovascular support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Hemorrhagic disease, Hypoprothrombinemia, Intraventricular hemorrhage, Osteoporosis, Vitamin K-dependent clotting factors deficiency (VKCFD) — and 4 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 and related bleeding disorders, including hypoprothrombinemia (low levels of clotting proteins) and hemorrhagic disease. It's also effective for managing warfarin anticoagulation when medically appropriate under a doctor's care.

For osteoporosis, the evidence is less clear — vitamin K2 is rated as possibly effective, meaning there's some promise but not yet strong proof. If you're considering it for bone health, talk with your doctor about whether the current evidence supports it for your situation.

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 K2 is generally well tolerated for healthy people at typical dietary amounts and supplement doses. The most common side effects — when they occur — are mild and gastrointestinal: nausea, diarrhea, stomach upset, and abdominal pain.

These are usually mild to moderate. Before taking supplements, check with your doctor; dietary amounts of vitamin K are fine, but supplements warrant a conversation with your provider, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or on any medications.

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, vitamin K2 is rated as likely safe, though as always, talk to your doctor about whether a supplement is right for you at that time.

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.

Double-check this product if you take warfarin (Coumadin) or any blood thinner — vitamin K can reduce how well these medications work. This is a Major interaction, so talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

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 your doctor recommends it for bone health support. If you take warfarin or any blood thinner, do not start this product without checking with your doctor — the interaction is serious and your dose may need adjustment.

Talk to your pharmacist before you start, especially if you're on any medications.

Can I take this if I'm on warfarin?
No, not without checking with your doctor first. Vitamin K can weaken warfarin's blood-thinning effect, which is dangerous. Your doctor may need to adjust your warfarin dose or monitor you more closely if you add a vitamin K supplement. Never start it on your own.
What are the common side effects?
Taken by mouth, the most common side effects are mild: nausea, diarrhea, stomach upset, and abdominal pain. These are usually mild to moderate and not serious, but if they bother you, tell your pharmacist.

Vitamin K2 is rated as likely safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. That said, always talk with your doctor before starting any supplement during these times — they can give you personalized advice based on your health.
What is vitamin K2 used for?
Your body uses vitamin K to make proteins that help with blood clotting and bone health. This supplement is effective for treating vitamin K deficiency and low clotting factors, and it may help support bone density, though the evidence for that is still developing.
Does this product have fillers?
Yes, it contains several inactive ingredients — microcrystalline cellulose, stearic acid, croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and polyethylene glycol — which help the tablet hold together and work properly in your body.
