Benifits of the vitamin A
Hi,
Vitamin A, also called retinol, helps your eyes adjust to light changes when you come in from outside and also helps keep your eyes, skin and mucous membranes moist. Vitamin A mostly comes from animal foods, but some plant-based foods supply beta-carotene, which your body then converts into Vitamin A. It also has antioxidant properties that neutralize free radicals in the body that cause tissue and cellular damage. Early information from scientific studies suggests that beta-carotene might help people who already have Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). The American Heart Association doesn't recommend taking supplements of beta-carotene until more is known, however. Nutritionists categorize vitamins by the materials that a vitamin will dissolve in. There are two categories: water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins. Fat-soluble vitamins—vitamins A, D, E and K—are stored in the fat tissues of the body for a few days to up to six months. If you get too much of a fat-soluble vitamin, it can be stored in your liver and may sometimes cause health problems. Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin. Some people take mega-doses of fat-soluble vitamins, which can lead to toxicity. Eating a normal diet of foods rich in these vitamins won't cause a problem. Remember, you only need small amounts of any vitamin. In the case of vitamin A, overconsumption has been linked with an increased risk of fractures in postmenopausal women. Some health problems can make it hard for a person's body to absorb these vitamins. If you have a chronic health condition, ask your doctor about whether your vitamin absorption will be affected. |

RE: Benifits of the vitamin A
Vitamin A is a fat soluble vitamin, and it is needed to promote a healthy body tissue, Well it also helps form and maintain healthy teeth, skeletal and soft tissue, and skin. I think that it comes from animal sources, such as eggs, meat, milk, cheese, cream, and halibut fish oil. Vitamin A that is found in colorful fruits and vegetables is called provitamin A carotenoid.

RE: Benifits of the vitamin A
Vitamin A is a fat soluble vitamin that is involved in the formation and maintenance of healthy skin, shiny hair and mucous membranes. Another thing is that vitamin A helps you see the dim light and is necessary for proper bone growth, tooth development and reproduction. Eating a variety of foods containing vitamin A and carotene is the best way to get enough. Healthy people who have a balanced diet rarely need supplements.
