PROTOCOL FOR LIFE BALANCE Vitamina A 25.000 UI - 100 Cápsulas Blandas

What is Vitamin A?

Vitamin A is an essential fat-soluble nutrient that plays a key role in multiple bodily functions. It comes in two main forms: retinol (preformed vitamin A), found in animal-derived foods, and provitamin A carotenoids like beta-carotene, which the body converts into retinol. This PROTOCOL FOR LIFE BALANCE supplement provides 25,000 IU of vitamin A in the form of retinol (retinyl palmitate), one of the most bioavailable forms used by the body.

Benefits of Vitamin A

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), vitamin A contributes to the maintenance of normal vision, the normal function of the immune system, and the maintenance of normal skin. It also contributes to normal iron metabolism and the maintenance of normal mucous membranes. Due to its role in the cell cycle and tissue differentiation, it is a fundamental nutrient for overall health.

Why choose 25,000 IU of Vitamin A?

The dose of 25,000 IU per capsule (equivalent to 7500 mcg of retinol equivalents) is a high amount, so this supplement is intended for individuals with specific needs under professional supervision. The recommended daily intake for adults in the EU is 800 mcg of retinol equivalents per day. The recommended dose should not be exceeded without consulting a healthcare professional. This format is especially popular among those seeking a temporary boost or following a specialist's instructions.

How much Vitamin A do I need?

Vitamin A needs vary by age, sex, and physiological status. In adults, the recommended daily allowance (RDA) is 800 mcg of retinol equivalents (approx. 2664 IU). However, high-dose supplements like this one (25,000 IU) should be used with caution and preferably under medical advice. The tolerable upper limit is 3000 mcg of retinol equivalents per day (10,000 IU). Exceeding this amount for prolonged periods can lead to toxicity.

Possible side effects and precautions

Fat-soluble vitamin A accumulates in the body, so excessive doses can cause hypervitaminosis A. Symptoms include dry skin, headache, fatigue, and liver damage. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should not exceed recommended doses without medical supervision. This food supplement should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet. Keep out of reach of young children.

How to choose the best Vitamin A supplement

When selecting a vitamin A supplement, it's important to consider the form: retinol is more bioavailable than beta-carotene, but also carries a higher risk of toxicity in high doses. Softgels facilitate absorption by being in a lipid base. PROTOCOL FOR LIFE BALANCE manufactures its products with quality standards for healthcare professionals, ensuring verified purity and potencies. Always check that the product indicates the form and dose in IU or mcg.

Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Consult a healthcare professional before taking high doses of vitamin A.
