Vitamin A: The Perfect Ally to Boost Your Immune System

Vitamin A: The Perfect Ally to Boost Your Immune System

Diana Vazquez

Whenever we need to stay sharp, we depend on several vitamins that help our mind and body to work properly and receive the required energy for everyday tasks. One of such nutriments is Vitamin A.

According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Vitamin A is "involved in immune function, cellular communication, growth and development, and male and female reproduction."

Among the many functions Vitamin A has in the human body, it is a key element that keeps our heart, eyes and lungs in shape, even from an early stage as fetal development during pregnancy.

We usually get Vitamin A from all kinds of food, either from animal or vegetal origin. It's most commonly found in:

  • Carrots, broccoli & sweet potatoes
  • Beef liver, salmon, tuna, herring & chicken breast 
  • Milk, cheese, eggs or yogurt
  • Spinach & red peppers
  • Cantaloupe & mangos
  • Apricots & pistachio nuts

Vitamin A deficiency has been associated with sight problems such as xerophthalmia and night blindness, abnormal lung development, pneumonia, and even an elevated risk of anemia in severe cases

If it becomes a chronic deficiency, it can lead to an increased severity of infections related to diarrhea or measles.

If you want to make sure you're getting all the Vitamin A you need to stay healthy, head to our online store and check our Kosmic Dust Supplements for the one that works best for you.
