Vitamin A – An important micronutrient

Vitamin A is one of the fat-soluble vitamins and is particularly necessary for the visual process, the maintenance of skin and mucous membranes, and the normal function of the immune system.

As a component of the visual pigments, vitamin A plays an important role in vision, especially in low light conditions.

Vitamin A in the diet

Vitamin A occurs as retinol mainly in animal foods such as liver, fish, eggs and dairy products.

Plant foods, by contrast, contain carotenoids such as beta-carotene, which the body can convert into vitamin A as needed.

Particularly good plant sources are carrots, pumpkin, spinach and other green leafy vegetables.

The daily vitamin A requirement depends on factors including age and sex. For adults, approximately 700–950 µg retinol activity equivalents per day are recommended, depending on the reference value.

Vitamin A as retinyl acetate

Pure Encapsulations® Vitamin A contains retinyl acetate, a stable form of vitamin A that the body can convert into biologically active retinol.

The carefully balanced formula is suitable for targeted supplementation of vitamin A intake.

Important notes

Dietary supplements are not a substitute for a balanced, varied diet and a healthy lifestyle.

Important: Excessive intake of preformed vitamin A (retinol and retinyl esters) can be harmful to health. During pregnancy or when trying to conceive, vitamin A preparations containing retinyl acetate should only be taken after consulting a physician, as high amounts can harm the unborn child.

Particular caution is advised when taking other vitamin A-containing preparations or retinoid medications at the same time.

Do not exceed the recommended daily intake. Keep out of reach of small children and store in a cool, dry place.
