so we’re going to talk about red spots on the skin i had someone ask the

question and there’s basically about three or

four different underlying causes to this and it can be any type of shape or size

but usually it’s this red little area in the skin and there’s various

medical terms for it which i don’t want to get

into i just want to talk about what it could be as an underlying root

cause now when you’re deficient in vitamin k1

you’re not going to be able to clot that well so you’re going to get bruising

and and whether it’s red or purple you’re going to have these little

bruises on your body and that could be the

reason you can also be deficient in vitamin c

because vitamin c controls capillary strength so if you have

a deficiency of vitamin c you’re going to get the red spots are going to look a

little bit different they might look like spider veins

or little pockets of this red or purple color because you need vitamin c

to strengthen the capillaries which are the vascular system

just underneath the skin so it could be either vitamin k1 or vitamin c

but in nature vitamin k1 and vitamin c usually come together as a

complex so if you’re consuming vegetables you’re

going to get a mixture of both of them also your gut makes k1

so if you have a history of antibiotics then it could be

the reason why you’re deficient your body just is not making it

so we have vitamin k1 as a possibility vitamin k1 deficiency

vitamin c deficiency but you could also have low amounts of calcium

low calcium will also cause the red spots on the skin

it’s very rare to have this happen but it could happen

so low calcium could be one cause another cause

would be a viral infection okay now there’s other causes as well

like if you have diabetes or some type of

chronic metabolic problem you’re going to see

red spots on the lower extremity right behind your lower legs

like almost like a large blisters or bruising

purple or red that’s just poor circulation

but typically most people have these red spots because they’re either

not consuming enough of these right here to get these nutrients

or they have some type of malabsorption they’re not able to absorb it because

their gut has inflammation or it’s damaged from

antibiotics or they had gastric bypass or

they have a fatty liver which will inhibit

the function of vitamin k1 because a lot of the fat soluble vitamins

are stored in the liver so if you have gallbladder problems lack

a bile you had your gallbladder out you’re not

going to have the bile to absorb this fat soluble vitamin and

that could be the reason why you have these red spots a gastric bypass

could also create a deficiency of both of these

because it alters the stomach and the gut

now in some circumstances if you add some bile salts

to the diet you can find that you get a lot more absorption of all the fat soluble

vitamins including k1 so it can help your clotting factors

now the foods that are high in k1 kale would be at the top of the list

spinach collard greens just dark leafy greens in general and by the way

all of these are loaded with vitamin c sauerkraut has

the most vitamin c like 700 milligrams per cup

bell peppers are loaded with vitamin c other peppers have a lot of vitamin c

berries have vitamin c lemons have vitamin c

unless it’s pasteurized in a container if you get raw lemons

and you take the lemon juice then you have vitamin c if you get it

in a glass jar it’s pasteurized and you have

very low levels of vitamin c all right so that’s my summary on red

spots on your skin before you go if you have a question
