OUR VITAMIN A SUPPLEMENT Vitamin A supplement that provides 5,000iu (1.5mg) of high-quality vitamin A retinol acetate within a vegetable cellulose capsule. WHY WE USE THE RETINOL FORM OF VITAMIN A? Studies show that some individuals have a genetic variant which may cause poor conversion between the carotene and retinol forms of vitamin A. For this reason, we use a high-quality vegan vitamin A acetate in our supplement. This is a type of preformed retinol, which means it is readily available to the body as it doesn't require conversion. WHAT IS VITAMIN A? 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. WHAT DOES VITAMIN A DO? 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. SUITABLE FOR VEGANS This supplement is suitable for vegans. It is also approved kosher and does not contain any major allergens.
