Vitakruid Vitamin A Retinol Acetate 4000 IU Vegan
Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin primarily found in animal products such as (organ) meat, fish, and dairy products. Vitamin A is also known as retinol, which is derived from retina. It is therefore logical to associate this vitamin with our vision, and for good reason.
Our retina contains rods and cones that convert light into images. The cones are responsible for color vision during the day, and the rods for shades of gray in the evening and at night. The rod cells contain a red pigment called rhodopsin.
The converted form of beta-carotene
The precursor to vitamin A is beta-carotene. This is mainly found in green leafy vegetables (spinach, lettuce, endive, and broccoli), cabbage varieties, and orange and yellow fruits and vegetables. When you consume these products, various conversion processes take place before beta-carotene becomes the active form retinol that the body can use. To illustrate, after all conversion processes, only 9-22 percent of the beta-carotene you consume ultimately remains as the active form of vitamin A.
Retinol acetate is the most absorbable form
We know vitamin A in several forms. One of the active ingredients is retinol acetate. This is a high-quality, stable, and natural form of vitamin A that we also find in large quantities in the outer layer of our skin. For food supplements, we also regularly use the substance retinol palmitate. The difference between these two is that retinol acetate has higher activity per milligram.
Retinol acetate has the highest activity
Retinol is the most common form of vitamin A, but not the final form the body uses. Through a conversion process, retinol is ultimately converted into the active substance retinoic acid.
Plant-based diet requires extra vitamin A
For vegetarians and vegans, it is especially important to monitor vitamin A levels. And more and more people eat less meat or have a diet that avoids animal products. It can then be difficult to achieve adequate vitamin A levels. If you follow a diet that contains little animal food, supplementation can offer a solution.
