Product Description
Vitamin A (Retinol): Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that participates
in numerous biological functions. Vitamin A is only found in animal
tissues; although its precursor beta-carotene (provitamin A) can be found
in certain fruits and vegetables.
Vitamin A is needed for cells to reproduce properly; it is required for
vision and the proper growth and maintenance of the skin, bones and
reproductive organs; and it helps in building resistance to respiratory
infections and boosting immunity. Vitamin A may also protect against
cancer, and is useful in the treatment of skin conditions such as acne
and psoriasis.
Researchers believe that vitamin A may directly affect intracellular
growth hormone levels and IGF-binding protein 3, which is necessary for
the production of growth hormone.
