Product Code: NHP-13-3120100 softgelsVitamin A has numerous roles in human health
Vitamin A is an essential nutrient with numerous roles in human health. Vitamin A is vital for the proper functioning of most organs of the body ? especially the skin, mucous membranes, and the immune system. Reproductive processes and proper bone development and maintenance in both men and women are particularly dependent upon vitamin A.
Vision, specifically night vision, is directly influenced by vitamin A. Vitamin A deficiency is the leading cause of blindness in children in Third World countries. Despite vitamin A's reputation for potential toxicity, vitamin A deficiency is far more common than cases of toxicity, with an estimated 200 cases of hypervitaminosis A annually versus one million persons developing vitamin A deficiency each year. In the US, the NHANES II study showed 20% or more of the population was receiving less than 70% of the RDA. A shortage is particularly critical during pregnancy when a deficiency can result in birth defects. Danger to the fetus from high doses of preformed vitamin A ( as well as from a vitamin A deficiency) is a risk in the first few weeks of pregnancy. For this reason, intake must be adequate, and not excessive in the month prior to pregnancy.
