Vitamin A

Vitamin A was first discovered in 1913 when scientists found it could prevent night blindness.

In 1932 it was determined that Beta Carotene, also known as pro-Vitamin A, was the precursor to Vitamin A. When we consume Beta Carotene, Vitamin A is produced naturally by enzymes in the digestive tract that digest Beta Carotene. The fat-soluble Vitamin A is then stored in the liver, where it can remain for long periods of time. Vitamin A occurs naturally only in animal products such as liver, kidney, butter, egg yolks, whole milk and fortified skim milk. Meanwhile, Beta Carotene is found in yellow fruits and vegetables such as carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, apricots, cantaloupe, and in dark leafy vegetables like collards and spinach.

Our natural Vitamin A is derived from cod liver oil and is available in 100 softgels.

Cautions

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble nutrient and can accumulate at toxic levels in fatty tissue, so avoid excessive Vitamin A intake.

Studies indicate a possible relationship between high Vitamin A intake from foods and supplements and the risk of hip fracture among postmenopausal women.

Doses greater than 10,000 IU have caused birth defects, particularly during the first seven weeks of pregnancy. Women who could potentially become pregnant should limit their daily Vitamin A levels to less than 10,000 IU daily and consult a health care practitioner to determine an appropriate dosage.

As always, consult your physician before taking supplements, especially if you have a medical or psychiatric condition, or are pregnant or lactating.
