Vitamin a

Vitamin A includes retinol and related compounds that the body uses in visual signalling, cellular development and immune function. It also helps maintain epithelial tissues.

• Scientific identity: Vitamin A; dietary forms: Retinyl esters and provitamin A carotenoids.
• How it works: Enters as retinol or carotenoid: Preformed retinol from animal foods is used directly; provitamin A carotenoids such as beta-carotene are converted as needed. Converted at a set rate: Roughly twelve micrograms of dietary beta-carotene counts as one microgram of retinol, and conversion is regulated by need.
• Primary function: It contributes to normal vision, immune-system activity and the maintenance of healthy skin and mucous membranes.
• What it supports: Vitamin A supports clear normal vision, healthy skin renewal and the body's everyday immune and protective-barrier functions.
• Important consideration: Its nutritional contribution depends on the amount provided and overall dietary intake.

• Meaningful contribution: Vitamin A supports clear normal vision, healthy skin renewal and the body's everyday immune and protective-barrier functions. Helps maintain healthy skin and the normal condition of protective epithelial tissues.
• Quality and scientific context: Its nutritional contribution depends on the amount provided and overall dietary intake. Research is shown only when an ingredient-specific study demonstrates a relevant benefit.
