Uses


Vitamin A and beta carotene uses?

Vitamin A is important for normal vision and the prevention of infectious diseases.

Vitamin A combines in the retina of the eye with the specialized protein necessary for night vision.

Vitamin A helps prevent disease by maintaining the body's barriers to infection, such as the skin, lungs, and the linings of the mouth and throat.

Beta carotene helps reduce the risk of developing heart disease, cancer, and other degenerative diseases by deactivating damaging free radicals.

Symptoms of deficiency are most likely to affect the skin, teeth, and eyes and vision, and include skin disorders, poor vision, poor formation of teeth and bones in children, increased colds and infections, and slowed growth.
