Vitamin A 90caps - Yamamoto

Product Description

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin, that is, it is soluble in fat. The base form of vitamin A, retinol, belongs to provitamin A. This family of molecules includes those with a carotenoid structure, i.e. pure carotenoids (Lycopene, 𝞪 -carotene, β-carotene, 𝛄-carotene ...) and xanthophylls (lutein, zeaxanthin, astaxanthin). The best known of the carotenoids is ß-carotene, because it is the most represented in the diet.

Vitamin A is found in the diet, in the oil of cod liver, in various livers (pork, veal, beef...), in egg yolk or in vegetable fats. Sweet potatoes and carrots are sources of B-carotene and therefore of vitamin A.
