Ingredient Benefits
Antioxidant properties
The hydrophobic chain structure of vitamin A can quench and stabilize free radicals
Promotes healthy vision at night
Vitamin A has been shown to be useful in improving night vision. Vitamin A helps to make rhodopsin, a pigment found in the rods of the retina, to help see in lower light.
Supports immune function
Vitamin A stimulates the production of white blood cells. This vitamin also strengthens mucous membranes and epithelial tissues which are the first line of defense against pathogens getting into the body.
Vitamin A is converted from beta carotene derived from foods consumed containing carotenoids. The carotenoids are converted in the gut to retinol. There is a large portion of people with a gene variant that impairs the ability to make this conversion, therefore many can benefit from vitamin A supplementation.
