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 supplement contains one active ingredient: vitamin K2 (as MK-7), at 100 micrograms per softgel. Vitamin K2 is a form of vitamin K that your body uses to regulate calcium in bone and soft tissue and to support blood clotting.

The softgel itself is made from vegetarian ingredients—a plant-based capsule, organic extra virgin olive oil, yellow beeswax, and sunflower lecithin—with no other active ingredients added.

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 bone and cardiovascular health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Osteoporosis, Wound healing, bone density, vascular calcification, arterial stiffness.
  • 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), Wound healing.

Vitamin K2 is established as effective for treating vitamin K deficiency conditions, including low clotting factors (VKCFD) and hemorrhagic disease, and for managing warfarin anticoagulation under medical supervision. The evidence for osteoporosis is less certain—the data shows vitamin K2 is possibly effective for bone density, meaning some studies suggest a benefit, but the case isn't proven 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.

Orally, vitamin K is generally well tolerated in most people. The most common side effects are mild gastrointestinal upset—nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and stomach upset—and a small number of people experience these.

Serious reactions are very rare when taken by mouth. Vitamin K2 is rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation.

That said, because vitamin K interacts with warfarin, if you're pregnant or breastfeeding and take any blood-thinning medication, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this supplement.

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.

If you take warfarin (Coumadin) or any blood thinner, do not start this product without talking to your doctor first. Vitamin K can reduce how well your medication works, which could put you at risk for a blood clot.

Your doctor may want to adjust your dose or check your clotting levels more often.

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.

This is a straightforward single-ingredient supplement useful if you have a vitamin K deficiency or want to explore the possibly-effective evidence for bone health. The main caution is warfarin and related blood thinners—if you take one, check with your doctor before adding this.

For anyone else, it's generally well tolerated with only mild digestive side effects in some people.
