Byta D Vitamine D

Vitamins are organic substances contained in food, essential for the proper functioning, growth and maintenance of the organism. They do not have energetic or structural functions, but intervene with specific tasks in key reactions of the metabolism, allowing them to be carried out.

The intake of vitamins with Byta D Supplement in neonatal age can be essential for the proper development of the organism.

An example is given by vitamin D. The best known action of vitamin D concerns bone metabolism, which is carried out on different tissues:

In the intestine it can facilitate the reabsorption of calcium taken from the diet;

In the kidney, it can cause calcium reabsorption in the proximal tubule.

A deficiency of vitamin D (hypovitaminosis) can cause skeletal changes and rickets.

Another action seems to be carried out at the level of the muscular system. This vitamin may not only be able to stimulate the production of muscle proteins, but above all to activate some mechanisms of calcium transport at the level of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (a cellular organelle) essential for muscle contraction.

Another essential role is played by vitamin K. Infants can show a physiological deficiency of vitamin K and the reasons are many:

Limited transplacental passage;

Low content in breast milk;

Intestine sterile at birth (intestinal bacteria, in fact, are able to synthesize it).

This vitamin may be essential for the production, in the liver, of important factors involved in the mechanisms of coagulation. Given its constitutive deficiency in newborns, they can be subject to a pathology called Hemorrhagic Disease of the Newborn (MEN) which can occur in the very first moments after birth and with varying severity.
