HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vitamin K2 100 mcg by Nutricost
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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: vitamin K2 at 100 micrograms per capsule. Vitamin K2 is a form of vitamin K that plays a role in blood clotting and bone health.
The capsule also contains inactive ingredients — rice flour and hypromellose (a capsule material) — to hold the supplement together.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Vitamin K2 is effective for treating vitamin K deficiency and bleeding disorders caused by low clotting factors. It's also possibly effective for osteoporosis, though the evidence for bone health is not as strong as for its clotting roles.
For other uses, the evidence we hold isn't established.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Taken by mouth, vitamin K is generally well tolerated in healthy people. The most common side effects are mild gastrointestinal ones — nausea, diarrhea, and stomach upset — which tend to be minor.
The safety data rates vitamin K as likely safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. That said, normal dietary amounts are fine, but check with your doctor before taking supplements, especially if you have any medical conditions or take medications.
Meds to double-check
Major interaction found
Before you take this, double-check any blood thinners (anticoagulants) you're on — especially warfarin. Vitamin K can reverse their effects and reduce protection against clots.
Use the medication checker on this page to be sure.
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 is a straightforward supplement for people who need it for clotting support or bone health. If you take warfarin or any blood thinner, you must talk to your pharmacist or doctor before starting this — it can undo your medication's effect.
For everyone else, run a quick interaction check below if you're on any regular medications.
