Vitamins
Today I worked on my website. I have one web page left to make and it is on vitamin E. I am having some trouble relating vitamin E to the digestive system so it is taking quite a while. I went through my check list and everything seems to be good except for a couple of things. All I need to do is comment on someone’s blog and my check list will be complete. A few days ago I learnt something really interesting about vitamin K. I learnt that vitamin K is produced in your digestive tract. I am still trying to figure out how vitamin K is produced there. Tell me if you have any ideas.

That is cool how the vitamin k is already in your digestive tract, but if its already there then do you need to do anything? Thats good about your website too.
ReplyDeleteI have some info for you to look up - Vit. K is linked to the bacteria in our lower digestive tract.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I understand that Vit. E is 'fat soluble.' Can you explain what that means? Does that mean that you have to eat fat with the vitamin pill in order for it to work?
Finally - why do we even need vitamins anyway? (I actually know...I'll give you a hint...it has something to do with enzymes).
Mrs. K
Fat-soluble means that the vitamin is stored in the fat in our body and in your liver. I think vitamins help enzymes work but I will look that up. Thanks for the tip on vitamin K.
