HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vitamin K2 100 mcg by Nature Made

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 softgel. Vitamin K2 is a fat-soluble vitamin your body uses to activate proteins involved in blood clotting and bone metabolism.

The softgel also contains soybean oil, gelatin, glycerin, water, and added colors as inactive ingredients to deliver the vitamin.

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: Helps support healthy bones.
  • We looked for evidence on: Osteoporosis, Bone density, Bone strength, Bone mineralization.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Vitamin K is rated "Possibly Effective" for Osteoporosis (Natural Medicines).

Vitamin K2 is effective for treating vitamin K-dependent clotting factor deficiency (VKCFD) and hypoprothrombinemia—conditions where your blood doesn't clot properly because of low vitamin K activity. It's also effective in reversing the effects of warfarin when needed medically.

For osteoporosis, the evidence is less settled; vitamin K2 is possibly effective, meaning the data suggests a benefit 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 K2 is generally well tolerated in healthy people at normal dietary amounts and supplement doses. The most common side effects are mild: some people report nausea, stomach upset, or diarrhea.

The safety notes advise checking with your doctor before taking supplements, especially if you have health conditions or take medications. Vitamin K2 is likely safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding according to the data we hold.

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.

Warfarin (Coumadin) is the big one—vitamin K2 can weaken its blood-thinning effect, and that's a Major interaction. Check any other blood thinners you take with the search tool on this page to be sure.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you have a clotting disorder or need to build bone health, and you're not on blood thinners, this is straightforward to consider. If you take warfarin or any anticoagulant, talk to your pharmacist or doctor first—the interaction is real and serious.

Vitamin K2 100 mcg by Nature Made: Common Questions

Does Vitamin K2 100 mcg by Nature Made interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Vitamin K2 100 mcg has a known interaction with 2 medications, including 2 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Vitamin K2 100 mcg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this if I'm on warfarin?
No, not without talking to your doctor first. Vitamin K2 directly opposes warfarin's effect, so adding it—or changing your vitamin K intake—can make your blood clot more easily and undo your medication's protection. Your doctor may adjust your warfarin dose or recommend a different approach.
What side effects might I get?
Most people don't have problems. The most common are mild gastrointestinal effects: nausea, stomach upset, or diarrhea. Serious side effects are rare when you take it by mouth.
Is vitamin K2 safe during pregnancy?
Yes, the data we hold rates it as likely safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. That said, always talk with your doctor about any supplement before or during pregnancy to make sure it fits your personal health plan.
What does vitamin K2 actually do?
Your body uses it to activate proteins that help your blood clot and your bones stay strong. It's effective for conditions where clotting is impaired, and there's some evidence it may help with osteoporosis, though that's not proven yet.
Can I get vitamin K2 from food instead?
You can get it from fermented foods and some cheeses, but if you need a specific dose—or if you have a clotting disorder—a supplement gives you consistent control. Ask your pharmacist whether food or a supplement is right for your situation.
