Vitamin A
Our Naturopaths Say
Vitamin A is an essential nutrient for the human body. It is necessary for the functioning of the immune system and the maintenance of healthy skin and mucous membranes. Vitamin A is also involved in the production of red blood cells and is necessary for the growth and development of the body. In addition, vitamin A is involved in the regulation of gene expression and the maintenance of healthy vision. Consuming foods that are rich in vitamin A, such as liver, sweet potatoes, and leafy green vegetables can help ensure that the body has an adequate supply of this important nutrient. Our team of accredited naturopaths can help you determine if supplementing with vitamin A is right for you.
