Vitamin A Deficiency


Mainstream medicine believes that vitamin A deficiency is rare. It is probably much more common than we think. Those with low thyroid function can not convert carotenoids to vitamin A efficiently. The same is true of diabetics. Low fat diets and cholesterol lowering medications can also make it more difficult to obtain optimal levels of vitamin A which is found preformed in only a few foods like liver, butter and eggs.

Vitamin A performs many functions in the human body including night vision, immune enhancement, skin health, regulation of cell growth, and synthesis of some of the most important hormones in the body including male and female sex hormones.

Signs of Vitamin A deficiency include calluses on the bottom of the foot, hardening of the skin around the pores, poor night vision, frequent infections, skin problems and hormonal problems.

GNLD Vitamin A is derived from the highest quality pollack liver oil. It is broken into tiny droplets (water miscibility) to improve absorption.
