HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vitamin K2 MK-7 50 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 (100 mcg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains 2 active ingredients: vitamin K1 and vitamin K2 (MK-7). Both are forms of vitamin K, a nutrient that supports blood clotting and bone health.

The capsule itself is made from extra virgin olive oil and a soft-gelatin shell.

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, Vascular calcification, Bone mineral density.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Vitamin K is rated "Effective" for Warfarin anticoagulation (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Vitamin K is rated "Possibly Effective" for Osteoporosis.
  • Also on file: Vitamin K is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Cardiovascular disease (CVD).

The data shows vitamin K1 and K2 are both effective for treating vitamin K deficiency and clotting disorders, and both are effective for managing warfarin anticoagulation (blood thinner therapy) — though, as noted, taking a supplement can interfere with that therapy. Both forms are possibly effective for osteoporosis.

The evidence for bone health is not as strong as for clotting support.

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

Serious reactions are rare and have only been documented with intravenous (IV) forms, not oral supplements. The data supports that vitamin K is likely safe in pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

Because normal dietary amounts are fine but supplement doses carry interaction risk with certain medications, check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product.

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.

Warfarin (Coumadin) and related blood thinners (anticoagulants): this is a Major interaction. Vitamin K can block warfarin's effects and lower your bleeding protection.

Do not start this product if you take warfarin without talking to your doctor or pharmacist first.

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 MK-7 50 is straightforward for someone who wants bone and blood-clotting support and isn't on blood thinners. If you take warfarin, this product is not something to start on your own — talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist first, since the supplement can reduce how well your blood thinner works.

Even if you're not on warfarin, run your medication list through the checker on this page before you begin.

Formula

Highest activity vitamin K2

Andrew Lessman’s Vitamin K2 MK-7 50 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 50 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 50 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 50 by ProCaps Laboratories: Common Questions

Does Vitamin K2 MK-7 50 by ProCaps Laboratories interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Vitamin K2 MK-7 50 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 50 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 or pharmacist first. Vitamin K directly interferes with how warfarin works and can make your blood thinner less effective, putting you at risk. Your provider may be able to adjust your warfarin dose or monitor you more closely, but you need their guidance before starting.
What's the difference between vitamin K1 and K2 in this product?
Both are forms of vitamin K and both have similar effects on blood clotting and bone health. K2 (specifically MK-7, the form in this product) is thought to be better absorbed and stay in your body longer than K1, but the data shows both are effective for clotting support.
Will this give me stomach problems?
Some people experience mild gastrointestinal side effects like nausea, stomach pain, or diarrhea when taking vitamin K by mouth. These are the most common adverse effects reported, but they're usually mild. Taking it with food may help.
Is it safe to take while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Yes — vitamin K is rated as likely safe during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. The data supports its use in those situations.
Does this actually help osteoporosis?
The data rates vitamin K as possibly effective for osteoporosis, which means there's some evidence but it's not as strong as for other uses like blood clotting. If bone health is your main goal, talk with your doctor about whether this is the right choice for you.
What are the inactive ingredients?
The capsule is made from extra virgin olive oil and soft-gelatin material. There are no other fillers or binders in this product.
