The vitamin A in this product, derived from fish liver oil, is highly bioavailable.
Healthy
skin, eyes and bones require adequate vitamin A. Vitamin A plays an
important role in building and maintaining iron-sufficient blood.
Vitamin A is involved with gene expression of proteins (e.g. keratins,
protein receptors) and enzymes.*
Immune support
One of
vitamin A’s most important roles is in immune function. Vitamin A
improves the integrity of mucosal and epithelial cells. It supports
healthy collagen production and skin tissue rejuvenation.*
Vitamin A is one of the fat-soluble vitamins and naturally occurs in eggs, whole milk, butter, meat and fish liver.
In the body, it is stored in the liver, eyes, kidneys, lungs and adrenal glands.
Who can benefit?
Everyone
needs some vitamin A, and those with poor nutrition and excessive
alcohol intake tend to have increased needs. Seniors may have additional
need for vitamin A.*
Vitamin A vs. beta-carotene
Many
people are familiar with beta-carotene, found in color-rich vegetables;
beta-carotene converts to vitamin A. This product is the active (hence
called ‘preformed’) form of vitamin A.
Pregnant women are recommended to consult their healthcare professional regarding vitamin A supplements*.
