HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vitamin K2 45 mcg by Nutri-Rich

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 K-2 at 45 micrograms per softgel. The rest of the capsule is made up of inactive ingredients—extra virgin olive oil, gelatin, glycerin, purified water, and carob—which help deliver and stabilize the vitamin K.

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: Vitamin K2 supports healthy arteries and strong bones.
  • We looked for evidence on: Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Osteoporosis, Hemorrhagic disease, Hypoprothrombinemia, Vitamin K-dependent clotting factors deficiency (VKCFD), Warfarin anticoagulation — 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 K-2 is effective for treating vitamin K deficiency conditions, including low levels of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors (proteins your body needs to stop bleeding) and hemorrhagic disease (a bleeding disorder). It's also effective for reversing the effects of warfarin when that's medically necessary.

For osteoporosis, the evidence suggests it may help, though more research is needed to be certain.

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.

When taken orally, vitamin K is generally well tolerated by healthy people at the amounts you'd get from food and typical supplements. The most common side effects are mild: nausea, diarrhea, and stomach upset.

However, because of the strong interaction with blood thinners, you should check with your doctor before taking any vitamin K supplement—even at dietary levels—if you're on anticoagulant therapy. During pregnancy and lactation, vitamin K-2 is rated likely safe, so if you're pregnant or breastfeeding and considering this supplement, that's reassuring from a safety standpoint.

Still, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for your individual 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.

Before taking Nutri-Rich Vitamin K2, double-check whether you're on warfarin or any other blood thinner (anticoagulant). Vitamin K has a Major interaction with these medications and can reduce their protective effect.

If you take warfarin, confirm with your doctor or pharmacist that it's safe to use this supplement alongside it.

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 supplement is straightforward: one ingredient, one major interaction to watch. If you take warfarin or another blood thinner, don't start this without checking with your doctor first—vitamin K can make those medications less effective.

If you're not on a blood thinner and want to address a vitamin K deficiency or explore bone health support, it's generally well tolerated at this dose. Either way, talk it over with your own pharmacist or doctor before you begin.
