Paleness Or Yellowing Of Skin
Too much bilirubin causes skin yellowing. Bilirubin is a yellow chemical produced by the breakdown of hemoglobin in red blood cells. Hemoglobin is in charge of transporting oxygen throughout the body. Old blood cells are degraded, and the resulting materials are either excreted or used to generate new cells. Bilirubin floats in blood if your liver is unable to successfully break down blood cells. As a result, the skin appears pale or yellowish.
Vitamin K is one of the vitamins that the body uses to process bilirubin and thereby prevent the yellowing or paleness of skin. If you notice paleness or yellowing of the skin, you probably lack adequate vitamin K in your body. It is recommended that you take foods rich in vitamin K, and seek medical help from a doctor.
