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, good bone and dental health, proper blood clotting, muscle and nerve function, and proper cell function, to name a few examples. Various diseases can be associated with a deficiency in a particular vitamin, such as rickets, insomnia, metabolic disorders, scurvy, or pellagra. Even milder, very common symptoms can indicate a deficiency in a particular vitamin: chronic exhaustion, crying spells, skin rashes, tingling in the fingers or toes, arrhythmias, frequent indigestion, and so on. 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, you can consult your doctor. The importance of vitamin K2. Vitamin K2 is not among the most well-known vitamins, yet it plays a fundamental role in good bone health, helping to prevent osteoporosis and other bone diseases. It also plays an important role in the circulatory system, in relation to proper blood circulation, and some studies indicate that it could be linked to the prevention of some types of cancer. In the words of Dr. Ángel Durantez, technical director of Longevitas Labs, "Calcium is the brick, vitamin D is the transporter, magnesium is the foreman, and vitamin K is the mason who builds the wall (the bone). Without the coordinated action of all of them, the process will not be effective." Nutrients do not work in isolation; it is the coordinated action of all of them that makes our body function as we expect it 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, we could say do not have a very "good reputation" currently, and for one reason or another, perhaps they are not consumed frequently enough. In vegan or vegetarian diets, and for people who do not 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 body functions: . Vitamin K2 helps fix calcium in the bones. Vitamin K2 helps normal blood clotting. Vitamin K2 activates osteocalcin, the protein that promotes the accumulation of mineral in the bone. In addition, it is essential for good dental health. Vitamin K2 Longevitas Labs Vitamin K2 contains 90 capsules.
