Vitamin A, long recognized as one of the key fat-soluble vitamins necessary for human health, is actually a group of compounds known collectively as retinoids. The physiological role of these retinoids has been shown to be broad, ranging from embryonic development to adult growth and development.

One of the most well-known functions of vitamin A is its role in eye health. Through its ability to increase rhodopsin production, vitamin A can improve night blindness and is associated with a reduced risk of cataracts and age-related macular degeneration. Additionally, vitamin A supplementation has been shown to slow the decline of retinal function in retinitis pigmentosa. Clearly, adequate vitamin A is essential for those interested in vision support.

Vitamin A is also extremely beneficial for the immune system. Not only does vitamin A act as a powerful antiviral compound, but it is also essential for maintaining the epithelial barrier. Vitamin A deficiency can lead to decreased activity of neutrophils, macrophages, and natural killer cells. Vitamin A supplementation has shown significant reductions in morbidity and mortality in cases of measles, malaria, and other infections.

Finally, vitamin A has a wide application in skin health, helping to combat eczema, psoriasis, and acne vulgaris. Vitamin A has been used topically and orally for various dermatological conditions, capable of improving wound healing and reducing fine lines and wrinkles associated with UV exposure and aging.

Cyto-A Liquid provides 10,000 IU of stable and active all-trans retinyl palmitate per drop of liquid. This active vitamin A is provided unflavored in a medium-chain triglyceride base with 450 drops per bottle.
