Vitakruid Vitamin A 4000 IE vegan
Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that is mainly found in animal products such as (organ) meat, fish and dairy products. Vitamin A is also called retinol, which is a derivative of retina. We therefore logically link this vitamin to our vision and that is not surprising.

Our retina contains rods and cones that convert light into images. The cones provide color during the day and the rods provide gray tones in the evening and night. The rod cells contain a red pigment called rhodopsin.

The converted form of beta-carotene
The precursor of vitamin A is beta-carotene. This is mainly found in green leafy vegetables (spinach, lettuce, endive and broccoli), cabbages and orange and yellow coloured fruits and vegetables. When you consume these products, all kinds of conversion processes take place before beta-carotene becomes the active form retinol that the body can use. To illustrate; of the beta-carotene that you consume, after all the conversion processes, only 9-22 percent remains as the active form of vitamin A.

Retinol acetate the best absorbable form
We know vitamin A in several forms. One of the active substances is retinol acetate. This is a high-quality, stable and natural form of vitamin A that we also find in large quantities in the outer layer of our skin. For food supplements we also regularly use the substance retinol palmitate. The difference between these two is that retinol acetate has a higher activity per milligram.

Retinol acetate has the highest activity
Retinol is the most common form of vitamin A, but not the final form used by the body. Through a conversion process, retinol is eventually converted to the active substance retinoic acid.

Plant based diet requires extra vitamin A
For vegetarians and vegans, it is extra important to keep an eye on vitamin A levels. And more and more people are eating less meat or have a diet that avoids animal products. It can then be difficult to achieve sufficient vitamin A levels. If you follow a diet that contains little animal food, supplementation can provide a solution.
