The Health Benefits Of Vitamin A





There are two types of vitamin A, retinoids from animal products and beta-carotene that comes from plants. The only way you can become deficient in vitamin A, is if you have a poor diet. Supplementation is okay as long as it is taken as directed because too much can be harmful. Most doctors prefer you and other patients to obtain antioxidants from a well balanced diet.
Vitamin A:

  • Is key for visions & helps your eyes between the transition of light and darkness.
  • Maintains a healthy immune system.
  • Topical creams are used for wrinkles, acne, and other skin conditions
  • Can be found in red, orange and dark green vegetables. 
    • tomatoes, carrots, spinach, etc.
  • Helps maintain a healthy liver.
