Vitamin A is essential for growth, development and maintenance of skin, tissue, bones, teeth and vision. It may help to prevent night blindness and regulates growth hormones. Vitamin A also assists in maintaining a healthy immune system.

Vitamin A 10,000 IU formula contains pre-formed Vitamin A which does not require the presence of bile or fat in the intestine for absorption. Derived from purified fish liver oil, a natural source of Vitamin A, this formula is especially beneficial for those with impaired digestion as the Vitamin A is much more easily absorbed.
