NOW Foods Vitamin A 25000 250 Softgels

NOW® Vitamin A provides None IU (7,500 mcg) of preformed vitamin A in each softgel, sourced from retinyl palmitate and fish liver oil. Vitamin A is an essential fat-soluble nutrient best known for its role in vision — it is a key component of the light-sensing pigments in the eye — but its benefits reach much further. It helps maintain the health and integrity of the epithelial tissues that line the body's internal and external surfaces (including the skin), and it plays an important part in supporting normal immune function.* Because this is preformed ("ready-to-use") vitamin A, your body can put it to work directly without having to convert it first.*

About the key ingredients

• Vitamin A (from retinyl palmitate and fish liver oil) – None IU: A preformed, readily usable form of vitamin A that supports healthy vision, skin and normal immune function.* Preformed vitamin A does not require conversion in the body, unlike plant-based beta-carotene.*
• Other ingredients: A softgel capsule (gelatin, glycerin and water) with a light oil base that helps your body absorb this fat-soluble nutrient.

Who it's for

NOW® Vitamin A is a good choice for adults who want targeted support for their eyes, skin and immune system and prefer the preformed, readily usable form of the vitamin.* It may appeal to those whose diets are low in vitamin-A-rich foods such as liver, fish and dairy, or who simply want a convenient once-daily softgel. Because preformed vitamin A can accumulate in the body, it is best suited to those who are not already getting high amounts from other supplements or a multivitamin.*

Suggested use

Take 1 softgel every 3 days with a meal. Store in a cool, dry place after opening.

Cautions & interactions

As with any supplement, talk to your doctor before adding this product to your routine if you are pregnant or nursing, taking prescription medication, or managing a health condition, so you can be sure it fits your individual needs. Keep it out of reach of children, store it in a cool, dry place, and don't exceed the recommended serving. If you take several supplements, review the combined amounts with your healthcare provider to avoid unintentionally doubling up on the same nutrient. Preformed vitamin A can build up in the body, so avoid combining it with other high-dose vitamin A supplements. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should consult a physician before using high-potency vitamin A, as excessive amounts are not recommended during pregnancy.
