Vitakruid Vitamin A Retinol Acetate 4000 IU Vegan 90 Vegetarian capsules

Vitakruid Vitamin A Retinol Acetate 4000 IU Vegan
Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin found primarily in animal products such as (organ) meat, fish, and dairy products. Vitamin A is also called retinol, which is derived from retina. We therefore logically associate this vitamin with our vision, and for good reason.

Our retina contains rods and cones that convert light into images. The cones provide color during the day, and the rods provide shades of gray in the evening and night. The rod cells contain a red pigment called rhodopsin.

The converted form of beta-carotene
The precursor to vitamin A is beta-carotene. It's primarily found in green leafy vegetables (spinach, lettuce, endive, and broccoli), cabbage, and orange and yellow fruits and vegetables. When you consume these products, various conversion processes take place before beta-carotene becomes the active form retinol that the body can use. For example, after all the conversion processes, only 9-22 percent of the beta-carotene you consume ultimately remains as the active form of vitamin A.

Retinol acetate the most absorbable form
Vitamin A comes in several forms. One of the active ingredients is retinol acetate. This is a high-quality, stable, and natural form of vitamin A that's also found in large quantities in the outer layer of our skin. Retinol palmitate is also frequently used in nutritional supplements. The difference between the two is that retinol acetate has a higher potency per milligram.

Retinol acetate has the highest activity
Retinol is the most common form of vitamin A, but not the final form used by the body. Through a conversion process, retinol is ultimately converted into the active ingredient retinoic acid.

Plant-based diet requires additional vitamin A
For vegetarians and vegans, it's especially important to monitor their vitamin A levels. More and more people are eating less meat or following a diet that avoids animal products. It can then be difficult to achieve adequate vitamin A levels. If you follow a diet that includes few animal products, supplementation can offer a solution.
