Product Description
A&D vitamin in one capsule
This A&D vitamin supplement contains 10000IU of vitamin A and 1000IU of vitamin D per capsule. Vitamin A, also known as retinol, is often referred to as a skin-protecting vitamin. It can be formed in the body from its precursors, known as provitamins. The most common precursors are various carotenoid compounds, with the most active one being ß-carotene, found in carrots and apricots. These compounds can, with varying efficiency, convert into vitamin A in the intestines when needed.
Vitamin A
- Participates in proper iron metabolism.
- Vitamin A contributes to maintaining the normal condition of the skin
- Contributes to maintaining normal vision.
- It contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system.
- Vitamin A plays a role in cell differentiation.
The requirement of vitamin A is measured in micrograms (mcg). Other notations are also used, such as IU (International Unit). 1 IU of vitamin A is equivalent to 1 mcg of retinol, 6 mcg of ß-carotene, or 12 mcg of other carotenoids.
70-90% of the vitamin A ingested with food, and 20-50% of the carotenes are utilized. The presence of naturally occurring fats is essential for healthy absorption, and research shows that vitamin E also positively influences the utilization of vitamin A absorbed with food. Another component of the A&D product is vitamin D (D3 vitamin). When our skin is exposed to ultraviolet (UV-B) radiation, a complex process involving several steps primarily converts cholesterol into vitamin D in our bodies. This sets us apart from the animal kingdom to some extent, as furry or feathery creatures seemingly only obtain vitamin D from their diet, as their skin is never exposed to sunlight. However, a large part of the human population spends one or two weeks in the sun each year, while the rest of their time is typically spent indoors, in offices, homes, cars, or other enclosed spaces, usually dressed and with little exposure of their skin to sunlight. If you also have limited sun exposure, it is advisable to supplement with vitamin D.
Vitamin D

- Contributes to maintaining normal blood calcium levels.
- It contributes to maintaining healthy bone structure, teeth, and healthy muscle function.
- It contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system.
