Key Benefits of Vitamin A

Vitamin A contributes to several important bodily functions when taken as part of a balanced diet:

• Normal vision: Vitamin A is necessary for the maintenance of normal vision, especially in low light conditions.
• Immune function: It contributes to the normal function of the immune system by helping to maintain the integrity of skin and mucous membranes.
• Skin health: Vitamin A supports the maintenance of normal skin.
• Growth and development: It is involved in the process of cell specialisation and normal reproduction.

These are authorised health claims under European regulation.

How Much Vitamin A Do You Need?

The UK Reference Nutrient Intake (RNI) for vitamin A is 700 µg per day for men and 600 µg for women. One Sundance soft gel capsule provides 3,000 µg (10,000 IU) of preformed retinol. Please note that the UK Department of Health advises not to exceed 1,500 µg (5,000 IU) of vitamin A from supplements daily. Therefore, this product should not be taken alongside other high-dose vitamin A supplements. Always consult your health care provider before starting a new supplement, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, or on medication.

Potential Side Effects and Safety

Vitamin A from retinol is safe within recommended limits, but excessive intake over time can cause toxicity. Symptoms may include nausea, dizziness, blurred vision, and liver damage. The safe upper level for preformed vitamin A from supplements is 1,500 µg per day. Since each Sundance soft gel capsule contains 3,000 µg, it is crucial not to exceed one capsule daily and to avoid additional vitamin A supplementation. Pregnant women should be especially cautious because high doses can cause birth defects. If you have any health concerns, consult your doctor before uses.

What is Vitamin A?

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin essential for a range of bodily processes. It is crucial for maintaining normal vision, particularly in dim light, by supporting the retina. It also helps maintain a healthy immune system and contributes to healthy skin and mucous membranes. As the body cannot produce vitamin A, it must come from diet or supplements. Sundance High Potency Vitamin A Softgels provide a straightforward way to ensure adequate intake.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I take this supplement every day?

Yes, the product is designed for daily uses. One soft gel capsule per day delivers a potent dose. Be aware of total intake from fortified foods and other supplements to stay within safe limits.

Is this supplement suitable for vegans?

The softgels may contain gelatine derived from animals. If you are vegan, check the label or contact the manufacturer for details on capsule ingredients.

What is the difference between retinol and beta-carotene?

Vitamin A comes in two main forms: preformed retinol from animal sources and provitamin A carotenoids such as beta-carotene from plants. This product contains retinol, which the body can uses directly. Beta-carotene must be converted, and the process varies. Retinol is more potent but carries a higher risk of toxicity if taken in excess.

Always read the label and follow directions for uses. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a medical condition, consult your doctor before taking this supplement.
