MASON NATURAL Vitamina A 3000 mcg (10.000 UI) de Aceite de Hígado de Pescado, 100 Cápsulas Blandas

What is Vitamin A?

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble nutrient essential for the body. It comes in two main forms: retinol (or preformed vitamin A), found in animal-derived foods such as fish liver oil, and provitamin A carotenoids (such as beta-carotene), present in vegetables. Retinol is the biologically active form that the body can use directly, making it an effective option for supplementation.

This MASON NATURAL product provides 3,000 mcg (10,000 IU) of vitamin A in the form of retinol from fish liver oil, in a convenient, easy-to-swallow softgel capsule.

Benefits of Vitamin A for Vision and General Health

Vitamin A plays key roles in the body. According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), this nutrient contributes to:

• The maintenance of normal vision
• The normal function of the immune system
• The maintenance of normal skin and mucous membranes
• Normal iron metabolism
• The process of cell differentiation

Thanks to its role in the retina, vitamin A helps maintain adequate vision in low light conditions and color perception. In addition, it is essential for the immune response against infections.

How much Vitamin A do I need daily?

Recommended intakes for adults are approximately 800-900 mcg of retinol equivalents per day. This supplement provides 3,000 mcg (10,000 IU) per capsule, which is equivalent to the maximum tolerable limit established for adults (3,000 mcg/day). Therefore, the recommended daily dose should not be exceeded. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or under medical treatment, consult a professional before taking this product.

How to choose the best Vitamin A supplement?

When selecting a vitamin A supplement, it is important to consider the form and quality of the product. Retinol is more bioavailable than beta-carotene, making it ideal for those seeking a direct supply. This product uses fish liver oil as a natural source of retinol, ensuring its purity.

Possible side effects and precautions

Vitamin A is safe at appropriate doses, but excessive and prolonged consumption can lead to hypervitaminosis A, with symptoms such as nausea, dizziness or liver problems. Due to the high concentration of this supplement (10,000 IU), it is recommended not to take it with other supplements containing vitamin A and to consult a doctor before continuous use. Pregnant women or those planning to become pregnant should avoid doses greater than 3,000 IU/day without medical supervision, as excess vitamin A can be harmful to the fetus.

Frequently asked questions about Vitamin A

Is it safe to take 10,000 IU of Vitamin A daily?
For most adults, 10,000 IU is the maximum tolerable intake (UL). It is not recommended to exceed this amount without medical supervision. If you follow a diet rich in vitamin A, consider reducing the dose.

What is the difference between retinol and beta-carotene?
Retinol is the active form of vitamin A, while beta-carotene is a precursor that the body converts according to its needs. Retinol is more potent and is absorbed directly.

Consult your doctor, especially if you take medications such as retinoids, anticoagulants, or antibiotics, as there may be interactions.
