Vitamin A
Vitamin A is an essential vitamin for keeping your vision healthy. This
vitamin is most useful for helping with vision at night time and it helps your
body against a condition known as night blindness, or Xerophtha.
Vitamin A is also known as Retinol or Carotene, and it has a wide variety of
other health properties too. This vitamin is a powerful antioxidant, in fact,
which helps combat the effects of time and free radicals. Vitamin A is
frequently used in skin care and beauty products these days, because it helps
keep your skin looking younger and healthier.
Vitamin A helps with a number of ailments and health issues as well. It helps
strengthen weak eyesight in addition to improving night blindness. Vitamin A
is also an excellent skin vitamin. Not only does it improve facial skin's tone
and suppleness, but it helps combat blackheads and reduce acne as well.
Other skin conditions vitamin A helps with include preventing or healing boils
and carbuncles, repairing open ulcers, and making skin, hair and teeth
healthier.
Inside the body Vitamin A plays critical roles as well. There it helps build
resistance to diseases and sicknesses, guards us against respiratory
infections, builds strong bones, helps us live to older ages, and helps our
body digest proteins.
Some health symptoms that can occur when a person is deficient in Vitamin A
include eye problems, red and itching eyes, dry and brittle hair, loss of
appetite, sterility, and an impaired sense of smell.
Most of the natural food sources for vitamin A include different types of
fish, cod liver oil, dark green leafy vegetables, carrots, butter, and whole
milk.
Vitamin A can be obtained from herbal sources as well, and some of those
include Alfalfa, Black Cohosh, Bee Pollen, Capsicum (Cayenne), Dandelion,
Echinacea, Fennel, Fenugreek, Garlic, Ginger, Ginseng, Kelp, Peppermint, Red
Raspberry, Rosemary, Sage and Yarrow.
As you research vitamins and their herbal sources, you'll find there are
several that often stand out as seeming to be a source for everything. These
are not miracle herbs and they don't provide you with every single vitamin you
need, but they do come quite close. It's because of this that we recommend
these particular herbs for general daily multi-vitamin uses.
