Vitamin A as retinol – essential vitamin
Vitamin A is an important vitamin with several functions in the body. It contributes to the maintenance of normal skin, vision and mucous membranes, as well as to the normal function of the immune system. Edubily offers vitamin A as highly bioavailable retinol and lets you choose between two practical forms: capsules and drops.
Since vitamin A is fat-soluble, it is absorbed particularly well when taken together with a meal containing 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 cell functions.
The following statements about vitamin A are approved by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA):
Vitamin A contributes to...
- the maintenance of normal skin
- the maintenance of normal mucous membranes
- the maintenance of normal vision
- the normal function of the immune system
- normal iron metabolism
- has a role in cell specialization
What affects the absorption of vitamin A?
The absorption and use of vitamin A and its precursors, such as beta-carotene, depend on various factors. These include the intake of dietary fats, general health status and genetic differences. The type of food processing and the ratio to other carotenoids can also play a role. A balanced diet with healthy fats and a wide range of nutrients can help support vitamin A intake.
Edubily Vitamin A: capsules or drops?
Edubily offers you vitamin A both in capsule form and as liquid drops. Both provide 2,000 IU vitamin A per serving (with five drops), equivalent to 600 µg (75 % 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 flexible dosing, as they contain 400 IU per drop, while one capsule already contains a daily dose of 2,000 IU, making this option ideal for standardized intake as well as a practical solution for on the go.
The drops contain vitamin A dissolved in high-quality MCT oil, while the capsules are filled with rice flour – no unnecessary additives.
