Vitamin A supplement that provides 5,000iu (1.5mg) of high-quality retinol acetate within a vegetable cellulose capsule.
Studies show that some individuals have a genetic variant which reduces the body's ability to convert carotene (from plant sources) into retinol, the active form of vitamin A. That's why we use retinol acetate within our supplements. It is an efficient, preformed retinol that is readily available to the body as it doesn't require conversion.
Vitamin A is a fat-soluble nutrient that occurs in two forms; carotene and retinol. The carotene form of vitamin A is generally found in plant-based foods such as carrots and sweet potatoes. The human body has to convert carotene into retinol before it can be utilised by cells.
Vitamin A contributes towards a healthy diet in many ways. This includes the maintenance of normal skin and vision, normal function of the immune system, and the maintenance of normal mucous membranes.
This supplement is suitable for vegans. It is also approved kosher and does not contain any major allergens.
