VITAMIN A, 100 soft gels, 10,000 IU

Vitamin A is essential for the growth of bones, teeth and soft tissues. Vitamin supplement: supports healthy immune function, supports healthy blood sugar balance

Overview
Vitamin A was first 'discovered' in 1913, when scientists found it could prevent night blindness. Then, in 1932 it was determined that beta-carotene, also known as pro-vitamin A, was the precursor to vitamin A. When we consume beta-carotene, vitamin A is produced naturally by enzymes in the digestive tract that digest beta-carotene. The fat-soluble vitamin A is then stored in the liver, where it can remain for long periods of time. Vitamin A occurs naturally only in animal products like liver, kidney, butter, egg yolks, whole milk and fortified skim milk. Meanwhile, beta-carotene is found in yellow fruits and vegetables like carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, apricots and cantaloupe, and in dark leafy vegetables like collards and spinach. Our Vitamin A is 100% natural and is derived from cod liver oil.

Our Vitamin A 10,000IU is available in 100 softgels.
