HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vitamin K2 180 mcg by Ortho Molecular Products
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 180 micrograms per capsule. Vitamin K2 is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a role in bone metabolism and blood clotting.
The remaining ingredients are inactive — a vegetable capsule shell, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, stearic acid, and calcium silicate — all standard excipients to form and stabilize the capsule.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Vitamin K2 is rated Effective for several conditions: correcting hypoprothrombinemia (low levels of blood-clotting proteins), treating vitamin K-dependent clotting factor deficiency, and managing warfarin anticoagulation when medically needed. It's also rated Possibly Effective for osteoporosis, though the evidence for bone health isn't as firmly established.
If you're considering this for bone support, talk with your doctor about whether the evidence meets your needs.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Taken by mouth, vitamin K is generally well tolerated. The most common side effects are mild gastrointestinal upset — nausea, diarrhea, and stomach discomfort — affecting a small number of people.
Serious adverse effects are rare when taken orally. The safety notes advise that normal dietary amounts are fine, but you should check with your doctor before adding a supplement to your routine, especially if you have any medical conditions or take other medications.
Meds to double-check
Major interaction found
If you're on warfarin (Coumadin) or a related blood thinner (anticoagulant), check with your doctor before taking this product. Vitamin K2 can weaken warfarin's anticoagulant effect — a Major interaction.
Altogether, these interactions span 2 individual medications. Use the search tool on this page to confirm your specific drugs.
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.
This single-ingredient supplement may help if you have a vitamin K deficiency or your doctor recommends it for blood clotting support or bone health. If you take warfarin or any blood thinner, do not start this without clearing it with your doctor first — it can reduce how well your medication works.
Even without blood thinners, confirm with your own doctor or pharmacist before adding it to your regimen.

HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Ortho Molecular Products Vitamin K2 does interact with medications, and you need to know about it before you start.
Through its vitamin K2 content, this supplement can block the effects of warfarin (Coumadin) and related blood thinners (anticoagulants) — a Major severity interaction. Vitamin K works against warfarin's job of keeping your blood thin, so even a modest increase in vitamin K intake can weaken the drug's protective effect and raise your clot risk.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Additionally, if you're on warfarin or a similar blood thinner, you shouldn't start this supplement without checking with your doctor first. Your dosing may need to shift, or your doctor might recommend a different approach altogether.
The data we hold covers warfarin specifically, though other blood thinners in the same class may be affected similarly — run your exact medications through the search tool on this page to be sure.
Additionally, if you're not taking a blood thinner, no interactions are documented in our data for the ingredient we checked. That said, absence of documented interactions isn't a guarantee none exist.
Before you add this to your routine, confirm with your own doctor or pharmacist that it's right for you and your current medications.
