Brief and precise summary of Vitamin A
Vitamin A can have a bad reputation, even though it’s an essential, fat-soluble vitamin which plays a vital role in growth, immunity, and hormone production. It works in tandem with other fat-soluble vitamins, and special care must be taken of its proportion to vitamin D3. This is at the root of vitamin A’s disrepute: a large dose of vitamin A can have a negative effect if one suffers from vitamin D deficiency.
Vitamins A and D complement each other
They are most effectively applied in a combined form, as they enhance rather than block each other’s effect.
Various controversies can be read about vitamins A and D. Some claim that vitamin A inhibits vitamin D’s functions, while others merely ignore their interaction and push vitamin D on its own.
Vitamin A is necessary for healthy skin
More and more people realize how important it is for healthy skin to not only protect it externally but to nourish it with vitamins and minerals internally. Various synthetic vitamin A derivatives have long been used to treat skin diseases, but there’s been a lot of mystery around what vitamin A does exactly.
The role of vitamin A in development
Vitamin A is indispensable in growth and development: without vitamin A, the level of sex hormones decreases, and in the case of children, sexual maturation and growth slow down. Animal studies prove that the body does not produce a sufficient amount of testosterone if vitamin A levels are deficient. Therefore, vitamin A is important for all who would like to gain muscle.
Vitamin A supports our immune system
The usage of vitamin A in fighting infection has an agelong tradition. Multiple clinical trials conducted in the first half of the 20th in connection with vitamin A observed a decrease in the amount and severity of infections in most cases.
Should we fear Vitamin A overdose?
Based on the results of a few observational studies and meta-analyses, many people have drawn attention to the dangers of vitamin A overdose, but let's see how well-founded these claims really are.
Vitamin A deficiency could play a role in depression
