Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin and can therefore be stored in the body. It is stored in the liver and our body cannot produce vitamin A itself and must absorb it through food. As vitamin A is involved in many visual processes, it is also particularly important for our eyesight. This is why it is also known as the eye vitamin [1].
Now Foods Vitamin A contains the compound retinyl palmitate, also known as vitamin A ester
Vitamin A plays an important role in our body. It is involved in numerous cell metabolism processes and is important for the immune system. Vitamin A owes its name "eye vitamin" to its effect on vision[2].
Inadequate intake can lead to a vitamin A deficiency in the body, which can manifest itself through various symptoms.
If your own vitamin A levels are too low, a deficiency can manifest itself through various symptoms. The first indication of a significant vitamin A def iciency is the symptom of night blindness. Those affected by this form of visual impairment can see very poorly or not at all at dusk. Non-specific symptoms of vitamin A deficiency are:[3]
To prevent a vitamin A deficiency, care should be taken to ensure a sufficient intake. As our body cannot produce the vitamin itself, the vitamin is absorbed through a diet rich in vitamin A.
Vitamin A is mainly found in animal products . A particularly rich source of vitamin A is liver and all sausage products made from it.
Other sources are eggs, milk, dairy products, especially Camembert and eel[3].
With a very conscious diet and the intake of foods containing vitamin A, a deficiency is rare. However, if fat digestion and absorption are restricted or the body is not able to convert vitamin A efficiently, this can lead to a vitamin A deficiency[3].
In addition to a balanced diet, the additional intake of vitamin A supplements can be useful.
In addition to Now Foods Vitamin A with 25,000 IU per capsule, you can also find Now Foods Vitamin A with 10,000 IU in our store.
