USA Supplements | NOW Foods, Vitamin A ( Healthy Vision & Immune Support )

🧪 What It Is

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin essential for several critical functions in the body. It exists in two main forms in supplements:

Preformed vitamin A (retinol/retinyl esters) – found in animal-based sources

Provitamin A carotenoids (like beta-carotene) – converted to active vitamin A in the body

The specific form in a NOW Foods product depends on the formulation.

🔑 Key Roles in the Body

Vitamin A supports:

Vision and eye health (especially low-light vision)

Immune system function

Skin and mucous membrane health

Cell growth and differentiation

💪 Potential Benefits

🛡️ Immune Support

✨ Skin & Mucous Membranes

💊 Typical Use

Usually taken once daily with a meal that contains some fat (to improve absorption).

Dosage and form vary by product (e.g., retinyl palmitate vs. beta-carotene).

⚠️ Considerations

Because vitamin A is fat-soluble, excess can build up in the body — avoid taking more than recommended without medical guidance.

Pregnant individuals should be cautious with preformed vitamin A due to higher risk of excess intake.

If you’re on medication or have a health condition, talk to a healthcare provider before use.
