Benefits of Vitamin A

So here on the VitaCare Supplements blog, we’ve started to break down the exact benefits of many different types of vitamins, and this week we’re going to break down vitamin A. What exactly is it that makes vitamin A a desirable part of a healthy lifestyle?

There are many things that the average person doesn’t know about vitamin A—such as the fact that vitamin A is actually a blanket term for retinoids, which are biologically active compounds that occur naturally in both animal and plant tissue.

Here are three reasons you should consider taking vitamin A:

1) Vision
With so much of the American population being so heavily dependent on glasses, contacts, and other vision aids, it has become apparent that we as a nation must do better in terms of improving our optical health. Vitamin A has been shown to be a leading helper in terms of optical health.

2) Bones
We all learned that milk is important for bone growth through the famous “Got Milk?” campaigns of the ‘90s, but did you know that vitamin A is also vital for bone growth and proper bone health?

3) Reproduction
In terms of reproduction, vitamin A plays a key part in the reproductive process. So make sure to take enough vitamin A—your kids will thank you for it, literally.
