A & D Vitamins Vitamin A and Beta Carotene are important for the eyes, skin, bones, teeth and immune function. You can find Vitamin A naturally in fish liver oils, dairy products, carrots, peaches and all green and yellow fruits and vegetables, yet you may still benefit from supplementation. One form of Vitamin A - Beta Carotene – is found in dark green leafy vegetables, and yellow and orange vegetables and fruits. Beta Carotene is a provitamin A that is part of the Carotenoid family; meaning, it readily converts to Vitamin A in the system when needed.* It also helps fight the cell damaging effects of free radicals.* As an antioxidant, Beta Carotene is a natural way to deal with the stresses of everyday living. To enjoy these benefits, look for a supplement that provides 5,000 IU or more of Vitamin A and Beta Carotene. At 200+ IU per day, Vitamin D helps maintain strong bones and teeth by enhancing the absorption of Calcium and Phosphorus.* You can obtain Vitamin D by eating egg yolks, fish liver oil, fish (like tuna) and milk. Since lack of exposure to sunlight may reduce Vitamin D levels in the body, it may be important to supplement your diet with this essential nutrient during the winter months.*
