Solgar Dry Vitamin A - 100 x 5000 IU Tablets

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that can be found in two forms; retinol and beta-carotene. Retinol can be found in foods from an animal source, with the other type of vitamin A being derived from colourful fruits and vegetables. Retinol can be used directly by the body, whereas beta-carotene needs to be converted into retinol first before it can be used.

Vitamin A in the retinol form can be found in cheese, eggs, oily fish, dairy products and liver. The beta-carotene variant exists in green leafy vegetables, yellow vegetables and yellow and orange-coloured non-citrus fruits.

Several of the body's systems are dependent on sufficient levels of vitamin A.
