Question

Explain vitamin E and vitamin K for me.

Answer 1

Vitamin k


In the body, vitamin K plays a major role in blood clotting. So it is used to reverse the effects of “blood thinning” medications when too much is given; to prevent clotting problems in newborns who don’t have enough vitamin K; and to treat bleeding caused by medications including salicylates, sulfonamides, quinine, quinidine, or antibiotics. Vitamin K is also given to treat and prevent vitamin K deficiency, a condition in which the body doesn’t have enough vitamin K. It is also used to prevent and treat weak bones (osteoporosis) and relieve itchingthat often accompanies a liver disease called biliary cirrhosis. Vitamin K2 (menaquinone) is taken by mouth to treat osteoporosis and bone loss caused by steroids, as well as to lower total cholesterol in people on dialysis.

People apply vitamin K to the skin to remove spider veins, bruises, scars, stretch marks, and burns. It is also used topically to treat rosacea, a skin condition that causes redness and pimples on the face. After surgery, vitamin K is used to speed up skin healing and reduce bruising and swelling.

Healthcare providers also give vitamin K by injection to treat clotting problems

Vitamin e

Vitamin E is an antioxidant. This means it protects body tissue from damage caused by substances called free radicals, which can harm cells, tissues, and organs. They are believed to play a role in certain conditions related to aging.

The body also needs vitamin E to help keep the immune system strong against viruses and bacteria.

Vitamin E is also important in the formation of red blood cells and it helps the body use vitamin K. It also helps widen blood vessels and keep blood from clotting inside them.

Cells use vitamin E to interact with each other and carry out many important functions.

Whether vitamin E can prevent cancer, heart disease, dementia, liver disease, and stroke still requires further research.

Hope it's help you

Answer 2

Heya!!

Vitamin E:

Vitamin E inhibits peroxide formation and thereby prevents damage of membrane lipids. It thus maintains normal membrane structure. It's deficiency causes reproductive failure and degeneration of muscles in many mammals, and increases fragility of erythrocytes in man. Vitamin E occurs in vegetable oils.

Vitamin K:

Vitamin K is obtained from green leafy vegetables like spinach, coriander leaves and radish tops. Vitamin K is also synthesised by bacteria in our colon and absorbed from there. This vitamin helps in the formation of prothrombin, an important factor for blood coagulation. Therefore vitamin K helps in blood coagulation. It's deficiency may cause profuse and prolonged bleeding.
