HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vitamin K2 MK-7 (Menaquinone-7) 90 mcg by Carlson
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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: Vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7), 90 mcg per softgel. Vitamin K2 is a form of vitamin K that helps your body make proteins involved in blood clotting and bone health.
The softgel also contains several inactive ingredients — safflower oil, beef gelatin, glycerin, water, carob, sunflower oil, vitamin E (D-alpha-tocopherol), and rosemary extract — which serve as the capsule and carrier.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Vitamin K2 is effective for treating vitamin K deficiency conditions, including low blood clotting factors and hemorrhagic disease (excessive bleeding). There's evidence it can help reverse warfarin anticoagulation if needed under medical supervision.
For bone health, the data shows vitamin K is possibly effective for osteoporosis, meaning there's some evidence it may help, but it's not yet conclusive. If you're taking this for bone strength, talk to your doctor about whether it fits your overall plan.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Vitamin K taken by mouth is generally well tolerated for most healthy people. The most common side effects are mild and gastrointestinal — nausea, stomach upset, abdominal pain, and diarrhea — usually only when doses are higher.
Pregnancy and lactation: The data rates vitamin K as likely safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. That said, the safety notes advise checking with your doctor before taking supplements, even though normal dietary amounts are fine.
If you're pregnant or nursing and want to add a supplement, talk to your OB or midwife first.
Meds to double-check
Major interaction found
Warfarin (Coumadin) and other anticoagulants (blood thinners) are the main concern — Vitamin K can reduce how well they work. Check any blood thinner you're on before adding this supplement.
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 supplement for people who need extra vitamin K — whether for clotting support or bone health. But if you take warfarin or any other blood thinner, you must check with your pharmacist before starting it.
Even if you're not on medications, mention it to your doctor so they know what you're taking.
