Vitamin A plays an important role in vision mechanisms and adaptation to darkness. It is essential for the synthesis of glycoproteins (protective mucosal proteins), cell differentiation control, and genetic expression. Tissues primarily affected by a deficiency in vitamin A include the oral cavity epithelium, respiratory and urinary tracts, and secretory glands.
In addition to these functions, this vitamin is crucial for the proper functioning of the immune system and has antioxidant properties. The main symptoms of vitamin A deficiency include twilight blindness, very dry and rough skin, loss of appetite, increased susceptibility to infectious diseases, and decreased resistance to stress.
In general, the Food Supplement Vitamin A 1502µg with Vitamin C can be recommended as a coadjuvant in:
- Preventing and treating certain vision disorders
- Treating acne, eczema, and other skin and mucosal conditions
- Improving immune function
- Treating infections, especially viral ones
Vitamin A supplements are advisable in cases of deficiency due to inadequate intake or poor absorption. This condition can be detected through a blood test. However, the need for these supplements should be determined by a specialist, such as a nutritionist.
Doctors should also monitor the consumption of these products to prevent excess. For example, a study in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute with 29,000 smokers found that excessive intake of vitamin A through supplements increases the likelihood of developing lung cancer.
On the other hand, experts argue that excessive vitamin A consumption through supplementation can be toxic and lead to a range of problems, from nausea to headaches, not to mention joint pain and osteoporosis.
Especially important for children's growth and pregnant women (for fetal development), vitamin A acts as an antioxidant, combating free radicals associated with some diseases and accelerated aging.
