Vitamin A
General Description: The first vitamin discovered
is good for vision -especially in dim light, and for healthy
skin, hair, and mucous membranes of the nose, throat, respiratory
system, and digestive system. It stimulates healing of
wounds and is used to treat skin disorders. It is important
to healthy teeth and bone structure. Beta Carotene, a form
of Vitamin A, is a pigment found in plant life. Your skin
stores Beta Carotene and your body metabolizes it to produce
Vitamin A as needed. Beta Carotene is an essential antioxidant
and supports immune system function. It may help prevent
some cancers and some vision problems such as night blindness.
Beta Carotene may also help lower cholesterol levels and
reduce risk of heart disease.
