Looking after our children's health can often feel like a full-time job. Are they getting enough fresh air? Are they eating right? Are they getting too much screen time? Questions like these are always spinning around a busy mum's mind. When it comes to proper nutrition, vitamin intake is one of the most important aspects, and many parents find it the most confusing. Don't worry though, it doesn't have to be overly complicated! With a few pieces of information, you'll be well able to provide your little one with the vitamins they need. In this case, we're talking about vitamin K.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Vitamin K is a vital nutrient for your little one's well-being. Thankfully, only a tiny amount is needed and it's straightforward to integrate into your child's diet. Vitamin K can be broken down into two components - Kl and K2. Vitamin K1 is available from plant sources and contributes to the important process of blood-clotting. Vitamin K2 can be found in animal sources and it aids heart and bone health. K2 is slightly harder to include, particularly in vegetarian diets, but gut bacteria in your child's body has the ability to convert a small amount of K1 to K2.
Vitamin K can be absorbed into and stored by fatty tissues, meaning that your child may be able to build up a little store of this nutrient. However, it is only really a very small amount, so make sure that they're getting enough vitamin K on a regular basis.
