What is Vitamin A?
Vitamin A is the name of a group of fat-soluble retinoids, including retinol, retinal, and retinyl esters. There are two forms of vitamin A that are available in the human diet: preformed vitamin A, and provitamin A carotenoids. Preformed vitamin A is typically consumed through your diet and most commonly present within meat and poultry items. Provitamin A is typically consumed through plants. The body then metabolizes the food and separates its parts into two sections, retinal, and retinoic acid, the active forms of vitamin A. [1]Potential Benefits of Vitamin A
Vitamin A is involved in a number of bodily functions including vision, immune function, reproduction, and cellular communication. Vitamin A is an essential part of rhodopsin, a protein that absorbs light in the retinal receptors. It also supports the differentiation and functioning of the conjunctival membranes and cornea. Vitamin A also plays a central role in cellular growth and differentiation, and is partially responsible for the normal formation and maintenance of the heart, lungs, kidneys, as well as other organs. Finally, vitamin A has a strong impact on bolstering your immune system and has strong antioxidant properties. As a fat-soluble vitamin, it is suggested that men need at least 900 micrograms per day and women need 700 per day. [2]
