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. Vitamin K is a fat-soluble nutrient your body uses to make clotting proteins and support bone health.

The softgel also contains inactive ingredients — extra virgin olive oil, gelatin, glycerin, purified water, and carob — that help deliver and preserve 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: supports healthy arteries and strong bones.
  • We looked for evidence on: Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Osteoporosis, Stroke, Bone density, Arterial calcification, Vascular health.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Vitamin K is rated "Possibly Effective" for Osteoporosis (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Vitamin K is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Stroke.

Vitamin K-2 is effective for treating vitamin K deficiency and related clotting disorders, including hypoprothrombinemia and vitamin K-dependent clotting factor deficiency. It's also effective for managing bleeding disorders and for correcting problems caused by excessive warfarin use.

For osteoporosis, the evidence is less complete — it's rated 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.

The safety data advises checking with your doctor before taking supplements, though normal dietary amounts are fine. This product is rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation, but talk with your healthcare provider about your individual situation.
