Now, your host, the man taking your health to a whole new level.

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 on 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 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 that 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.
