Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that is essential for vision, skin, the immune system, and cell growth. It is found mainly in animal foods, such as eggs, liver, and fish, but the body can also produce it from provitamin A carotenoids, which are found in carrots, sweet potatoes, and spinach.

Benefits: Vitamin A performs many vital functions in the body:

• Vision : essential for maintaining proper vision, especially in low light conditions.

• Immune system : vitamin A helps the function of immune cells, thus strengthening the body's defense mechanisms against infections.

• Skin and mucous membrane health : promotes the regeneration and health of the skin and mucous membranes, which are the primary line of defense against pathogens.

• Cell growth : plays an important role in cell growth and differentiation, especially in skin and tissue regeneration.

Thyroid and Vitamin A: Vitamin A affects the production of thyroid hormones and helps reduce the symptoms of hypothyroidism. Since dry skin is a common symptom of hypothyroidism, vitamin A support can be especially beneficial in maintaining skin health.

Linked to hormonal balance. Vitamin A helps maintain hormonal balance, especially in thyroid function. Since vitamin A affects the synthesis of thyroid hormones, it can help thyroid hormones work more effectively and relieve symptoms caused by low hormone production, such as fatigue and skin problems.

Natural sources: liver, egg yolk, dairy products, carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, spinach, kale.
