Description
Vitamin A is a dietary supplement formulated to promote healthy function of the lungs, immune system, antioxidant activity, eyes and vision, hair, skin, and nails. Vitamin A is available in softgels from Natura-Genics®.
How It Works
Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin essential for various bodily functions, including vision, immune system health, cell growth, and reproduction. It exists in different forms, with retinol being the most biologically active form found in animal-based foods, while provitamin A carotenoids like beta-carotene are found in plant-based foods.
Benefits of Vitamin A
- Promotes vision health
- Supports immune function
- Supports cell growth and differentiation
- Supports lung health
- Promotes antioxidant activity
- Supports skin, hair, and nail health
Promotes Eye and Vision Health
Vitamin A is crucial for vision, particularly in low-light conditions, as it is necessary for the production of rhodopsin, the pigment responsible for initiating the visual process. It also supports the health of various eye tissues, promoting protection against conditions like night blindness and age-related macular degeneration.
Promotes Lung Health
Vitamin A plays an important role in the respiratory epithelium and the lungs. Research has found that during moderate vitamin A deficiency, the risk of respiratory tract diseases is increased, and reoccurring respiratory infections may be influenced by vitamin A supplementation. Vitamin A also promotes the integrity of mucosal surfaces found in the respiratory tract, which aids against pathogens. Lastly, its rich antioxidant properties promote protection in the body from free radicals. Oxidative stress is believed to play a major role in the pathogenesis of airway obstruction.
Promotes Immune Health and Antioxidant Activity
Vitamin A is known as an anti-inflammatory vitamin and plays a critical role in supporting immune function. It is involved in the development of the immune system and plays regulatory roles in cellular immune responses and humoral immune processes. Vitamin A is also involved in the production and function of white blood cells. Therefore, adequate levels of vitamin A may promote a speedy recovery when dealing with some illnesses. Its antioxidant properties promote the protection of cells from oxidative stress caused by free radicals, which may play a role in several diseases.
Promotes Hair, Skin, and Nail Health
Vitamin A supports healthy skin by promoting cell turnover and wound healing. The antioxidant properties of vitamin A also support healthy skin by preventing free radicals from causing cell damage, promoting a reduced risk of signs of aging in the skin. Vitamin A has also been used to promote reduced inflammation associated with certain inflammatory skin conditions. Its role in healthy cell production supports healthy hair and nails.
