vitamin k

Most people have not heard of vitamin K, but it is nevertheless an essential vitamin for the overall health and wellness of the body.  Vitamin K is a fat soluble vitamin, meaning that it gets stored predominantly in the body’s fat cells.

Vitamin K doesn’t get nearly as much attention as the rest of the vitamin family, but this group of vitamins merits a closer look. The group of vitamins we know as Vitamin K are also referred to as naphthoquinones. Each vitamin within the group is unique in some way, vitamin K1 for example is mostly found in plants, while the human body creates K2 all on its own.

Most people are familiar with the standard vitamins – vitamins A, B, C, D and E – but few are familiar with Vitamin K and its importance in maintaining good health.

Eating in season makes sense in so many ways. For centuries, Ayurvedic practitioners and Chinese herbal doctors have eaten the foods which were in season. The idea is very simple-eat what is abundant and harvested in the current season in order to align your body with nature and stay healthy.
