HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vitamin K2 Menaquinone-7 by PureFormulas

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 K2 (as menaquinone-7). It's a form of vitamin K that your body uses to activate proteins involved in blood clotting and bone health.

The capsule also includes microcrystalline cellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, calcium citrate, vegetable stearate, and silica as inactive ingredients.

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: bone health and cardiovascular support.
  • 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 K2 is effective for treating vitamin K deficiency states—including hypoprothrombinemia (low levels of clotting factors made with vitamin K) and hemorrhagic disease of newborns. It's also effective for managing warfarin anticoagulation when vitamin K is deliberately given to reverse excess warfarin effects.

For osteoporosis, the evidence is possibly effective, meaning there's some promising data but not yet definitive proof that it prevents or treats bone loss.

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 doses. The most common side effects are mild: diarrhea, nausea, and stomach upset.

These tend to be mild to moderate and transient. The safety data notes that normal dietary amounts are fine, but if you're considering a supplement, check with your doctor first—especially if you take blood thinners.

Vitamin K2 is rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation based on available safety data.

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.

Blood thinners are the key concern—warfarin (Coumadin) especially. Vitamin K can reduce their effectiveness, turning a life-or-death medication into a less reliable one.

If you take any blood thinner, check with your pharmacist or doctor before starting this product.

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.

If you're not on a blood thinner, this supplement is generally well tolerated and may support bone health. If you take warfarin or other anticoagulants, don't start it without your doctor's approval—vitamin K can interfere with how those medications work.

Talk to your pharmacist before you start, particularly if you're on any prescription medications.
