Next Vitamin K is fat-soluble compound essential for the synthesis of certain proteins necessary for the clotting of blood. Deficiency, though rare due to bacteria synthesis within the body, results in impaired clotting of the blood and internal bleeding.
Good sources of vitamin K are most vegetables. It is fat-soluble and found in the liver fats, vegetables and to a lesser extent cereals. It is stable to heat and light and destroyed by alkalis.
Vitamin P, also known as Citrus Bioflavonoids, Rutin, or Hesperidin, is water-soluble and measured in milligrams. Sources of vitamin P: skin of fruits, pulp of fruits, white portion of citrus fruit, buckwheat, cherries, rose hips, blackberries, prunes, currants, vegetables. Vitamin P is needed for the proper function and absorption of vitamin C. It also increases capillary strength and aids in regulating absorption. Simptoms of lacking vitamin P in nutrition: bleeding gums, colds, eczema. Natural enemies are: cooking, light, smoking, heat.
Vitamin-like substances include a number of compounds that resemble vitamins in their activity but are normally synthesized in the human body in adequate amounts. They are often classified with the B vitamins because of similarities in function and distribution in foods.
Choline is found in all living cells and plays a role in nerve function and various metabolic processes. It is very important in controlling fat and cholesterol buildup in the body, prevents fat from accumulating in the liver, facilitates the movement of fats in the cells; helps regulate the kidneys, liver and gallbladder, important for nerve transmission, helps improve memory. Deficiency results in cirrhosis and fatty degeneration of the liver, hardening of the arteries, heart problems, high blood pressure, hemorrhaging kidneys.
Inositol is a water-soluble compound. It is necessary for the formation of lecithin, aids in the breakdown of fats, helps reduce blood cholesterol, helps prevent thinning hair. Deficiency may result in high blood cholesterol, constipation, eczema, hair loss.
PABA (para-aminobenzoic acid) is an integral part of folic acid. Aids healthy bacteria in producing folic acid; aids in the formation of red blood cells, contains sun screening properties; aids in the assimilation of Pantothenic acid; returns hair to its natural color. Deficiency may cause extreme fatigue, eczema, irritability, depressions, nervousness, constipation, headaches, digestive disorders, hair turning prematurely gray.
Carnitine has an essential role in the transport of fatty substances.
Lipoic acid seems to have a coenzyme function similar to that of thiamine; however, because it is synthesized in the human liver and kidneys, it is not considered a vitamin.
