The importance of vitamins

Vitamins are organic compounds necessary for the body to carry out certain metabolic processes. They are essential for growth and development, healthy bones and teeth, proper blood clotting, muscle function, nerve function, and the proper functioning of cells, to name a few examples. Various diseases can be associated with a deficiency in a particular vitamin, such as rickets, insomnia, metabolic disorders, scurvy, and pellagra. Even milder and very common symptoms can indicate a deficiency in a specific vitamin: chronic fatigue, crying spells, skin rashes, tingling in the fingers or toes, arrhythmias, and frequent indigestion. It is important to know the function of each vitamin, the main sources for obtaining them, and the symptoms that may indicate a deficiency in that vitamin so that, if necessary, a doctor can be consulted. The importance of vitamin K2. Vitamin K2 is not among the most well-known vitamins, yet it plays a fundamental role in maintaining healthy bones, helping to prevent osteoporosis and other bone diseases. It also has an important function in the circulatory system, related to proper blood flow, and some studies indicate that it may be linked to the prevention of certain types of cancer. In the words of Dr. Ángel Durantez, technical director of Longevitas Labs, "Calcium is the brick, vitamin D the transporter, magnesium the foreman, and vitamin K the builder constructing the wall (the bone). Without the coordinated action of all of them, the process will not be effective." Nutrients do not work in isolation; rather, it is their coordinated action that allows our bodies to function as we expect them to. Sources of Vitamin K2: The main sources of vitamin K2 are meats, egg yolks, cheeses and dairy products, and organ meats, as well as some fermented foods such as sauerkraut. Most of these foods, sources of vitamin K2, don't exactly have a "good reputation" these days, and for one reason or another, they may not be consumed often enough. In vegan or vegetarian diets, and for people who don't regularly eat the foods that are the main source of this vitamin, supplementation with a vitamin K2-based nutritional supplement can be essential to ensure certain bodily functions: Vitamin K2 helps fix calcium in bones. Vitamin K2 helps with normal blood clotting. Vitamin K2 activates osteocalcin, the protein that promotes the accumulation of the mineral in bone. Furthermore, it is essential for good dental health. Vitamin K2 from Longevitas Labs contains 90 capsules. The recommended dose is one capsule daily, so each bottle contains a three-month supply. This product was developed by Longevitas Labs under the technical direction of Dr. Ángel Durántez. Vitamin K2 plays a fundamental role in maintaining good bone and cardiovascular health. Less well-known than Vitamin K, it is much more effective at improving blood clotting, restoring arterial walls, and supporting bone health. MORE INFORMATION >
