Vitamin A 10,000 IU
Introduction
Vitamin A is a fat soluble vitamin essential to the body. It is critical to a healthy immune and respiratory system. In addition, vitamin A assists in the formation of bone and protein. Beta-carotene, the proactive form of vitamin A, acts as an antioxidant in the body. It is one of many carotenoids found in nature. Beta-carotene is a good alternative for individuals who are unable to tolerate the fat soluble form of vitamin A. Carotenoids function in many ways and include various forms besides beta-carotene. Carotenoids have been shown to
- Provide UV protection from the inside out
- Lower the risk of cardiovascular disease
- Enhance immune function
We offer a variety of products containing 100% natural beta-carotene from D. Salina, a marine algae. There are over 500 different carotenoids found in plants. The following chart lists the most common:
