Vitamin A (pure retinol)

Vitamin A as retinol – an essential vitamin

Vitamin A is an essential vitamin that plays several important roles in the body. It helps maintain healthy skin, vision, and mucous membranes, as well as supporting the normal function of the immune system. Edubily offers vitamin A in the form of highly bioavailable retinol and lets you choose between two convenient dosage forms: capsules and drops. 

Since vitamin A is fat-soluble, it is absorbed particularly well when taken with a meal that contains healthy fats.

Why does your body need vitamin A?

Vitamin A performs important functions in the body and is involved in various biological processes. Through its active form, retinoic acid, it helps regulate numerous cellular functions.

The following statements regarding vitamin A have been authorized by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA):

Vitamin A helps...

• to maintain healthy skin
• to maintain healthy mucous membranes
• to maintain normal vision
• for the normal functioning of the immune system
• for normal iron metabolism
• plays a role in cell differentiation

What factors affect vitamin A absorption?

The absorption and utilization of vitamin A and its precursors, such as beta-carotene, depend on various factors. These include, among other things, the intake of dietary fats, overall health, and genetic differences. The method of food processing and the ratio of vitamin A to other carotenoids can also play a role. A balanced diet rich in healthy fats and a variety of nutrients can effectively support vitamin A intake.

Edubily Vitamin A: Capsules or Drops?

Edubily offers vitamin A in both capsule and liquid drop form. Both provide 2,000 IU of vitamin A per serving (five drops), which is equivalent to 600 µg (75% of the NRV).

The drops contain the fat-soluble retinyl palmitate, while the capsules contain retinyl acetate in solid form. Both are converted in the intestine into the biologically active form, retinol.

The drops allow for flexible dosing, as they contain 400 IU of e per drop, whereas a single capsule already contains a daily dose of 2,000 IU, making this option ideal for standardized intake as well as a convenient solution for when you're on the go.

The drops contain vitamin A dissolved in high-quality MCT oil; the capsules are filled with rice flour—no unnecessary additives.
