Vitamins ADEK

Vitamin ADEK

Vitamin ADEK is a group of vitamins that includes vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, and vitamin K. Each of these vitamins has its own unique functions and benefits for the body.

Meet the brief characteristics of each of these A, D, E, and K. Under the products:

1. Vitamin A (Retinol):

• Functions: Vitamin A is essential for eye health, strengthens mucous membranes and skin, helps maintain bone health, and affects proper embryonic development.
• Sources: Meat, liver, eggs, milk, dairy products, as well as provitamin A (carotenoids) found in carrots, spinach, and other vegetables.
• Deficiency: It can lead to vision problems, weakened immunity, dry skin, and other disorders.

2. Vitamin D:

• Functions: Vitamin D is crucial for bone health as it helps in the absorption of calcium and phosphorus from the intestines. It also affects the immune system and regulates inflammatory processes.
• Sources: The skin produces vitamin D under the influence of UVB radiation from natural sunlight. Additionally, it can be found in fatty fish (salmon, tuna), fortified milk, egg yolks, and food products.
• Deficiency: It can lead to weakening of the bones (osteoporosis), muscle weakness, and immunological problems.

3. Vitamin E (Tocopherol):

• Functions: Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant, helps protect cells from oxidative damage, supports the immune system, and affects skin health.
• Sources: Vegetable oils (e.g., sunflower seed oil), nuts, seeds, leafy green vegetables.
• Deficiency: Rarely occurs in healthy individuals, it can lead to muscle weakness and neurological disorders.

4. Vitamin K2:

• Functions: Vitamin K2 is essential in the process of calcium regulation, helping to build strong teeth, bones, and nails, and cleanses blood vessels (veins and arteries) by removing calcium deposits and directing them to hard tissues (bones, teeth, nails). Thus, it affects bone health by regulating mineralization.
• Sources: Green leafy vegetables (spinach, kale), broccoli, fermented products.
• Deficiency: leads to calcium accumulation in blood vessels (veins, arteries), while excess calcium in blood vessels is one of the causes of adverse changes in them. Additionally, calcium cannot be integrated into bones, risking weakness and degenerative bone problems.

The combination of vitamins A+D3+E+K2 is the best solution, as these are the only 4 vitamins that dissolve in fats, and taking them together with a meal containing fat results in better absorption. Additionally, when taken together, they influence each other, creating a synergy that enhances their effects.

Choose the most suitable form for yourself: capsules, drops, to supplement these vitamin deficiencies. Each product contains a detailed description of its use for children, adults, and especially the elderly.

Vitamins ADEK are a unique combination of fat-soluble compounds responsible for regulating and properly functioning a whole range of metabolic processes. It is best to consume all four vitamins ADEK simultaneously. We can compose the form and amounts from individual products or take them in the form of a whole complex of vitamins ADEK. Vitamins ADEK for children are mainly recommended in drops, while vitamins ADEK for adults can be taken in both forms at their discretion.

Their deficiency may in turn contribute to the disruption of the functioning of the entire organism. Conditions such as the following may then occur:

• chicken blindness,
• stunted growth in children,
• bone fragility,
• abnormal functioning of the reproductive organs,
• bleeding disorders,
• calcium metabolism disorders.

Fat-soluble vitamins, namely ADEK

Vitamins A, D, E, and K are the only vitamins that are fat-soluble. Therefore, to maximize their absorption, they should be taken during the intake of fats, for example, during meals. Otherwise, a large part of what we've consumed will be excreted. Producers often combine them with fats in the capsule itself or in drops to minimize this phenomenon.

Vitamins A, D, E, and K are recommended for children primarily in drops, as they do not have a problem swallowing capsules. For adults, they are available in the form of drops or capsules based on oils or in powder form. Vitamins A, D, E, and K are also found in supplements combined with other vitamins or minerals. On this category page, you can find all supplements containing vitamins A, D, E, and K available either on their own or alongside other vitamins or minerals.

A set of fat-soluble vitamins, namely vitamins A plus vitamins D, E, and K, is a wonderful ADEK combination for children. ADEK complex vitamins are available in capsules, in oil or powder form, but also considering small children, ADEK can be purchased in drops.

However, not only a deficiency of these compounds can have a very negative impact on the overall condition of the human body - an excess of them is also dangerous. That is why we recommend consulting with a dietitian or a doctor before starting supplementation.

Vitamin A

As one of the components of ADEK

Vitamin A is part of the ADEK group of vitamins. All-trans-retinol exhibits the highest biological activity. The daily requirement for vitamin A in humans is 750μg. Beta-carotene, which is provitamin A, can also be a source of vitamin A, as it is converted into vitamin A in the body. Vitamin A is stored 90% in the liver.
