HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vitamin K2 by NuMedica

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

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 capsule contains one active ingredient: vitamin K2. Vitamin K is essential for blood clotting and plays a role in bone metabolism.

The capsule also contains inactive ingredients — hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, L-leucine, and bamboo silica — which are fillers and binders that help form and stabilize the capsule.

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: support bone health and cardiovascular function.
  • We looked for evidence on: Osteoporosis, Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Hemorrhagic disease, Vitamin K-dependent clotting factors deficiency (VKCFD), Warfarin anticoagulation, Arterial calcification — and 2 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 Warfarin anticoagulation, Vitamin K-dependent clotting factors deficiency (VKCFD).
  • Also on file: Vitamin K is rated "Possibly Effective" for Osteoporosis.

Vitamin K2 is effective for treating vitamin K-dependent clotting factor deficiency (VKCFD), hypoprothrombinemia (a blood clotting disorder), warfarin-related anticoagulation issues, and hemorrhagic disease. It's possibly effective for osteoporosis.

The evidence for bone health is less established than for clotting disorders, so talk with your doctor about whether it makes sense for your situation.

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.

Taken by mouth, vitamin K is generally well tolerated in healthy people at typical supplement doses. The most common side effects are mild — nausea, diarrhea, stomach upset, and abdominal pain.

Serious side effects are rare. The safety data rates vitamin K as likely safe in pregnancy and lactation, so it may be used during these times if medically indicated — but always check with your doctor or midwife first, since individual circumstances vary.

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 you take this, check whether you're on warfarin (Coumadin) or any other blood thinner — vitamin K is a Major interaction with warfarin and can reduce how well it works. One other medication interacts with vitamin K in our data; use the search tool on this page to check your exact 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.

Vitamin K2 is a straightforward, single-ingredient supplement useful for blood clotting support and possibly for bone health. If you take warfarin or any other blood thinner, do not start this product without talking to your doctor — vitamin K can reduce your medication's effectiveness.

Even if you don't take blood thinners, run your full medication list through the checker below before adding it.
