Vitamin A
- Vitamin A is vital for a healthy immune system, bone growth, vision, cell recognition and reproduction. Vitamin A often works as an antioxidant, fighting cell damage, but it also has many other uses. It has a vital role in the formation of heart, lungs, and kidney.
- Other functions of vitamin A include the formation and maintenance of teeth, bones, soft tissue, white blood cells, the immune system and mucus membranes.
- Most people get enough vitamin A from their diets. However, a doctor might suggest vitamin A supplements to people who have vitamin A deficiencies. People most likely to have vitamin A deficiency are those with diseases (such as digestive disorders) or very poor diets.
Uses
- Vitamin A is used for improving the eyesight, maintaining cells of the skin and the lining of the digestive, urinary and respiratory tracts.
