Vitamin K - All You Need To Know


Vitamin K - All You Need To Know

If you want to access qualified information on Vitamin K, this piece of information will be useful to you in endless ways.

Before we read about benefits of Vitamin K to the human body and standard intake of Vitamin K, let us read about this vitamin to develop a clear and complete understanding.

The primary function of Vitamin K is to regulate normal blood clotting, the process that initiates on an automatic basis when an injury produces a tear in a blood vessel. This vitamin regulates normal blood clotting by helping the body transport calcium. The vitamin is routinely recommended by medical practitioners and healthcare givers to improve bone health and reduce the risk of bone fractures, particularly in postmenopausal women who are at risk for osteoporosis. In addition to that, the vitamin is also recommended to reduce risk of bleeding in liver disease, jaundice, malabsorption, or in association with long-term use of aspirin or antibiotics.

Vitamin K is also prescribed to treat heavy menstrual bleeding, and advised with vitamin C to treat morning sickness.

Daily intake for vitamin K (according to the USRDA) is listed below:

Pediatric

    * Infants birth - 6 months: 2 mcg

    * Infants 7 - 12 months: 2.5 mcg

    * Children 1 - 3 years: 30 mcg

    * Children 4 - 8 years: 55 mcg

    * Children 9 - 13 years: 60 mcg

    * Adolescents 14 - 18 years: 75 mcg

Adult

    * Males 19 years and older: 120 mcg

    * Females 19 years and older: 90 mcg

    * Pregnant and breastfeeding females 14 - 18 years: 75 mcg

    * Pregnant and breastfeeding females 19 years and older: 90 mcg

Rich sources of vitamin K include broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, Asian soy foods, cow milk, spinach, carrots, corn, onion, cucumber, celery, squash, turnip, eggplant, beet, and soybeans.

Deficiency of vitamin K can lead to health complications such as cystic fibrosis, celiac disease, and cholestasis and symptoms of vitamin K deficiency include easy bruisability, epistaxis, gastrointestinal bleeding, menorrhagia, and hematuria.

Learn More About Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 or vitamin B-12, also called cobalamin, can be described as a water-soluble vitamin that plays an important role in the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system and blood formation. The vitamin is a collection of molecules of cobalt and corrin ring molecules that are defined by their specific vitamin function in the body.

Vitamin B12 is used to treat and prevent vitamin B12 deficiency, a condition in which vitamin B12 levels in the blood are too low. The vitamin is also used for treating pernicious anemia, a severe form of anemia that is caused by a deficiency of vitamin B12 and seen mainly among the elderly. To this end, people use a supplement that is taken by mouth or a gel that is applied inside the nose.

Vitamin B12 is also used for treating severe health complications such as memory loss, mood Alzheimer’s breath, energy, concentration, and slows aging. It is also used for heart disease, lowering homocysteine level (which can contribute to heart disease), male infertility, diabetes, sleep disorders, depression, mental disorders, weak bones (osteoporosis), swollen tendons, AIDS, inflammatory bowel disease, asthma, allergies, a skin disease called vitiligo, prevent cancers of the cervix and others, and skin infections .

The recommended daily intake (ANC) of vitamin B12 are: infants 0-6 months, 0.4 mcg for infants, 7-12 months, 0.5 mcg, children 1-3 years: 0.9 mcg, children 4-8 years: 1.2 mcg, children 9 -13 years, 1.8 mcg, children and adults, 2.4 mcg, pregnant women, 2.6 micrograms, and breastfeeding women, 2, 8 mcg. More than 50 years should meet the RDA by eating foods fortified with vitamin B12 or take a supplement of vitamin B12 because 10% to 30% of older adults do not absorb nutrients related to vitamin B12 in an effective manner.
