Vitamin A...

Why do we need it?
What is it?

Vitamin A (retinol, retinoic acid) is a nutrient important to vision, growth, cell division, reproduction and immunity. 
Vitamin A is a fat-soluble nutrient that plays a vital role in your body.

Double X and Vitamin C are my tanks. Í am fighting weight right now. Been able to lower 30 lbs and my last lab check was a perfect score. Also the Q analysis shows I am in very good shape.
Grapefruit XS is my favorite drink. 

How much do we need each day?

900 micrograms (mcg) for adult men
700 mcg for adult women

Too much vitamin A can be harmful.
Even a single large dose — over 200,000 mcg — can cause:
Nausea
Vomiting
Vertigo
Blurry vision

 If you are or might become pregnant, talk to your doctor before taking vitamin A. Excess use of vitamin A during pregnancy has been linked to birth defects.

What does it do?
Vitamin A has antioxidant properties. Antioxidants are substances that might protect your cells against the effects of free radicals — molecules produced when your body breaks down food or is exposed to tobacco smoke and radiation. Free radicals might play a role in heart disease, cancer and other diseases.
Age-related macular degeneration. A large clinical trial showed that people at high risk of advanced age-related macular degeneration reduced their risk of developing the condition by 25 percent by taking a specific combination of vitamins that included beta-carotene. It's not entirely clear what role beta-carotene played
As an oral supplement, vitamin A mainly benefits people who have a poor or limited diet or who have a condition that increases the need for vitamin A, such as pancreatic disease, eye disease or measles.
It supports immune function by supporting the growth and distribution of T-cells, a type of white blood cell that protects your body from infection
Vitamin A helps with multiple aspects of the human reproductive system. Getting enough of the vitamin in your diet helps prevent birth defects and reduces the risk of infertility for all genders
Your immune system is a complex collection of different cells that keep you healthy. Vitamin A plays a critical role in helping these cells communicate and regulate themselves effectively.

Food Sources
Vitamin A is found in many foods, such as spinach, dairy products and liver. Other sources are foods rich in beta-carotene, such as green leafy vegetables, carrots and cantaloupe. Your body converts beta-carotene into vitamin A.
Preformed vitamin A — retinol and retinyl esters — occurs exclusively in animal products, such as dairy, liver and fish, while
Provitamin A carotenoids are abundant in plant foods like fruits, vegetables and oils
What if I have a shortage?
  1. Early signs:
    • Vitamin A deficiency causes anemia and dry eyes.

    • The most common symptom of vitamin A deficiency in young children and pregnant women is an eye condition called xerophthalmia.
      Xerophthalmia is the inability to see in low light, and it can lead to blindness if it isn’t treated.
