Health Benefits of Vitamin A

Vitamin A contributes to the maintenance of normal vision, especially in low light conditions. It also contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and the maintenance of normal skin. These claims are authorized by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). It is important to remember that food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet.

Why choose NOW Foods Vitamin A 25,000 IU?

NOW Foods is a brand recognized for its commitment to quality. This vitamin A comes from fish liver oil, a natural source of highly bioavailable retinol. The softgel presentation facilitates its intake and absorption. The pack of 4 bottles offers a prolonged supply at a more advantageous price. Each batch undergoes purity and potency testing to ensure its quality.

How much Vitamin A do I need daily?

The recommended daily intake for adults is 800 to 1000 mcg of retinol equivalents (approximately 2,500-3,300 IU). One capsule of this product provides 25,000 IU, a much higher dose than recommended. Therefore, it is essential not to exceed the recommended daily dose indicated on the packaging (1 capsule per day) and to consult with a health professional before taking it, especially if you are consuming other supplements that contain vitamin A.

Possible side effects and precautions

High doses of vitamin A can accumulate in the body and cause toxicity. Symptoms may include dry skin, headache, nausea, or dizziness. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid high doses without medical supervision. Prolonged use without advice is not recommended. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place.

How to take this Vitamin A supplement

The recommended dose is one (1) softgel daily, preferably with a meal containing fat to improve absorption. Do not chew the capsule, swallow it whole. If you miss a dose, take it when you remember, but do not double the dose. Consult your doctor if you are taking other medications or have any medical conditions.

Does vitamin A help with night vision?

Vitamin A contributes to the maintenance of normal vision, including adaptation to darkness. However, no claim is authorized to state that it improves night vision beyond normal.
