HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vitamin K2 100 mcg by Health Thru Nutrition

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: MenaQ7, a form of vitamin K2. It's a fat-soluble vitamin your body uses to support blood clotting and bone health.

The capsule also holds a few inactive ingredients—microcrystalline cellulose, hypromellose, L-leucine, and silicon dioxide—that help hold it together and keep it stable on the shelf.

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: support normal blood clotting and bone health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Hemorrhagic disease, Hypoprothrombinemia, Intraventricular hemorrhage, Vitamin K-dependent clotting factors deficiency (VKCFD), Warfarin anticoagulation, Osteoporosis — 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 blood clotting factors, hemorrhagic disease, and a condition called hypoprothrombinemia where the blood doesn't clot well. It's also effective for reversing excessive anticoagulation from warfarin.

For osteoporosis, the evidence is possibly effective—there's some support, but we don't yet have the same level of proof we have for the clotting conditions.

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, stomach upset, or abdominal pain.

A small number of people may experience these, but serious reactions are rare. The safety data shows vitamin K is likely safe during pregnancy and lactation, so if you're pregnant or breastfeeding and wondering about this supplement, that's a good sign—but run it by your own doctor or pharmacist to make sure it fits your situation.

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.

If you take warfarin (Coumadin) or any other blood thinner (anticoagulant), do not start this product without checking with your doctor or pharmacist first. Vitamin K directly reverses the blood-thinning effect and can make these medications less effective.

There is one other anticoagulant medication that interacts the same way; use the search tool on this page to confirm your exact medication.

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 works well if you need to correct a vitamin K deficiency or support bone health. But if you take warfarin or another blood thinner, this supplement is off the table unless your doctor okays it and monitors you closely.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, especially if you're on any anticoagulant medication.
