HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vitamin K2 MK-7 100 by ProCaps Laboratories

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 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • “Vitamin K Complex” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (150 mcg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This softgel contains 2 active ingredients: vitamin K1 and vitamin K2, both forms of vitamin K. The capsule itself is made from a soft-gelatin shell and extra virgin olive oil.

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: Promotes bone and heart health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Osteoporosis, Warfarin anticoagulation, Vitamin K-dependent clotting factors deficiency (VKCFD), Hemorrhagic disease, Hypoprothrombinemia — 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.

The data shows vitamin K (in both K1 and K2 forms) is effective for treating vitamin K deficiency (hypoprothrombinemia), vitamin K-dependent clotting factor deficiency, and hemorrhagic disease. It's also effective for managing warfarin anticoagulation — though that use requires medical supervision because of the Major interaction noted above.

For osteoporosis, the evidence is rated possibly effective, meaning the science suggests a potential benefit but isn't yet conclusive.

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?

  • 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.

Serious side effects from oral vitamin K are rare. Pregnancy and lactation: the safety data rates vitamin K as likely safe during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

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 your medications against warfarin (Coumadin) and any other blood thinners. Vitamin K in this product can significantly reduce how these drugs work, which is a Major concern.

If you're on a blood thinner, get your pharmacist's thumbs-up before starting.

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.

Formula

Highest activity vitamin K2

Andrew Lessman's Vitamin K2 MK-7 100 provides a high potency blend of vitamin K in the form of vitamin K-1 (phytonadione) and, most importantly, as vitamin K-2 menaquinone-7 (MK-7) to deliver newly recognized and essential benefits to bone and heart health. Vitamin K's name originates from the role of vitamin K-1 in blood clotting (koagulation in German) but, today, its most important function centers around vitamin K-2 MK-7 and its now recognized role in the utilization of calcium within the body and, as a result, its indispensable role in both bone health, as well as heart and cardiovascular health. These far-reaching benefits to skeletal and cardiovascular health have now been consistently observed and established in the scientific literature. Our Vitamin K2 MK-7 100 is formulated to deliver an unsurpassed source of vitamin K-2 for optimum bone and heart health. Plus, for any person consuming calcium and vitamin D, vitamin K-2 MK-7 has been shown to ensure the greatest benefits of those essential nutrients. It is also important to note that the best source of vitamin K-2 is the unusual Japanese food called fermented natto from soybeans, which virtually no Americans consume. Fortunately, our vitamin K2 MK-7 100 makes it easy and economical to obtain all the benefits of vitamin K-2 in a small easy-to-swallow capsule.

Vitamin K2 MK-7 100 by ProCaps Laboratories: Common Questions

Does Vitamin K2 MK-7 100 by ProCaps Laboratories interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Vitamin K2 MK-7 100 has a known interaction with 2 medications, including 2 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Vitamin K2 MK-7 100 contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this if I'm on warfarin?
No — not without talking to your doctor first. Vitamin K can reverse warfarin's blood-thinning effect, which could put you at risk. Your doctor may adjust your warfarin dose or ask you to skip this supplement. Don't start it on your own.
What are the most common side effects?
Nausea, diarrhea, stomach upset, and abdominal pain show up in some people who take vitamin K by mouth. Most people tolerate it well, and these effects are usually mild.
Is it safe to take during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
Yes — the data rates vitamin K as likely safe during both pregnancy and lactation. That said, if you're pregnant or nursing, it's always smart to mention any supplement to your doctor first.
What does vitamin K2 do?
Vitamin K2 in this product helps your body make clotting factors and manage blood coagulation, just like vitamin K1. The data also shows it may help support bone health, though the evidence for that is still developing.
Is this effective for osteoporosis?
The evidence is promising but not definitive — it's rated possibly effective. That means some science supports the idea, but we need more research to be sure. Talk to your doctor about whether it fits your bone health plan.
