Solgar Vitamina A Seca 1500 mcg (5000 UI) - 100 Comprimidos

What is Vitamin A?

Vitamin A is an essential nutrient that plays a fundamental role in various bodily functions. It is known for its contribution to maintaining normal vision, skin health, and the functioning of the immune system. This fat-soluble vitamin is found in two main forms in the diet: retinol (present in animal-derived foods) and provitamin A carotenoids like beta-carotene (plant-derived).

Solgar Dry Vitamin A offers 1500 mcg (5000 IU) of retinol acetate in a convenient dry tablet, ideal for those who prefer to avoid oil-based formulations. Each tablet provides a precise dose to cover recommended daily needs.

Benefits of Vitamin A

Vitamin A contributes to several essential biological processes. According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), authorized claims include:

• Contributes to the maintenance of normal vision.
• Contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
• Contributes to the maintenance of normal skin.
• Contributes to normal iron metabolism.

Additionally, it plays a role in the process of cell differentiation. It is important to note that these benefits are obtained as part of a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.

How much Vitamin A do I need?

Recommended Daily Intakes (RDIs) for adults vary by gender and age. Generally, 800-1000 mcg of retinol equivalents (RE) per day are recommended. One tablet of Solgar Dry Vitamin A provides 1500 mcg (5000 IU), covering 188% of the adult RDI according to European regulations.

It is important not to exceed the recommended daily dose, as excess vitamin A can accumulate in the body and cause adverse effects. Consult a healthcare professional before starting supplementation, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking other medications.

Possible Side Effects and Precautions

Vitamin A is safe within recommended limits. However, very high doses (megadoses) for prolonged periods can cause toxicity, manifesting with symptoms such as nausea, headache, fatigue, or liver damage. Pregnant women should be especially careful, as excess vitamin A can be harmful to the fetus.

This product is formulated with retinol acetate, a stable and bioavailable form. The dry tablet presentation prevents the oxidation common in liquid formulations, ensuring its freshness and efficacy.

When selecting a vitamin A supplement, consider the following factors:
