VITAMINS PEOPLE OFTEN MISTAKE THE MOST

1. Vitamin D isn’t just a vitamin. It acts more like a hormone and influences hundreds of processes throughout the body.
2. Vitamin K1 and K2 are not the same thing. K1 mainly supports blood clotting, while K2 helps direct calcium to the right places.
3. Vitamin B12 and B9 work together, but they’re different nutrients. Low B12 can sometimes look like a folate deficiency.
4. Vitamin A from animal foods is different from beta-carotene in plants. Your body must convert beta-carotene into usable vitamin A.
5. Vitamin E isn’t one compound. It’s actually a family of antioxidants that includes tocopherols and tocotrienols.
6. Vitamin C isn’t only for immunity. It also plays a major role in collagen production, skin health, and blood vessel function.
7. Vitamin B1 isn’t the same as B12. B1 helps convert food into energy, while B12 supports nerves and red blood cells.
8. Vitamin D2 and D3 are not identical. D3 generally raises and maintains vitamin D levels more effectively.
9. Vitamin B6 isn’t one simple nutrient. It exists in several forms, with P5P being the active form used by the body.
10. Vitamin K doesn’t thicken your blood. It helps regulate normal blood clotting processes.
11. Vitamin B7 and collagen are different things. Biotin supports hair and nail health, while collagen is a structural protein.
12. Vitamin A and vitamin E can compete when taken in very large amounts. More is not always better.
13. Vitamin B3 comes in different forms. Niacin and niacinamide have different effects in the body.
14. Vitamin D works best with supporting nutrients like magnesium and vitamin K2, not completely on its own.
