K2, E, and B3

Posted on February 9, 2026 by Admin

It looks like you’re listing vitamins: K2, E, and B3. Let’s break each one down clearly:


1. Vitamin K2

  • Type: Fat-soluble vitamin.
  • Function:
    • Helps regulate calcium in the body.
    • Supports bone health and cardiovascular health (helps prevent calcium from depositing in arteries).
  • Food sources: Natto (fermented soybeans), hard cheeses, egg yolks, chicken.
  • Notes: Often works together with vitamin D to strengthen bones.

2. Vitamin E

  • Type: Fat-soluble vitamin.
  • Function:
    • Powerful antioxidant that protects cells from damage.
    • Supports immune function and skin health.
  • Food sources: Nuts (almonds, hazelnuts), seeds, spinach, vegetable oils (like sunflower or safflower).
  • Notes: High doses from supplements can increase bleeding risk; food sources are usually safe.

3. Vitamin B3 (Niacin)

  • Type: Water-soluble B vitamin.
  • Function:
    • Helps convert food into energy.
    • Supports brain function and healthy skin.
    • Can help manage cholesterol levels (in higher medicinal doses).
  • Food sources: Meat, poultry, fish, peanuts, fortified cereals.
  • Notes: Very high supplement doses can cause flushing or liver issues.

💡 Quick summary:

  • K2 = calcium management & bones
  • E = antioxidant & cell protection
  • B3 = energy metabolism & skin/brain health

If you want, I can also make a simple chart showing K2, E, and B3 side by side with their main functions and food sources—super handy for quick reference.

Do you want me to make that chart?
