Vitamin A is an essential micronutrient required throughout human life to perform multiple metabolic functions. The vital biological roles of vitamin A compounds include normal cell growth, cell differentiation, vision, and maintenance of immune function, maintenance of cell integrity, lipid metabolism, and antioxidant action.

The human diet contains two sources for vitamin A: preformed vitamin A (retinol and retinyl esters) and provitamin A carotenoids. Preformed vitamin A is found in foods from animal sources, including dairy products, eggs, fish, and organ meats. Provitamin A carotenoids are plant pigments that the body converts into vitamin A in the intestine. The main provitamin A carotenoids in the human diet are beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, and beta-cryptoxanthin. Retinyl esters and provitamin A carotenoids are converted to retinol after uptake into the lumen. Retinol is then oxidized to retinal and retinoic acid, the two main active vitamin A metabolites in the body. Most of the body’s vitamin A is stored in the liver in the form of retinyl esters.

Not all diets are sufficient to meet daily requirements of vitamin A, especially people on restricted diets, or elderly population or people with certain physiological conditions or impaired vision may have low serum vitamin A levels. Therefore, to strengthen body’s growth and functions it is necessary to take a supplement like Unived’s Natural Beta-Carotene supplies you with Vitamin A precursor to ensure that your body has a good reserve of Vitamin A at all times.

Unived’s Beta-Carotene is formulated with

1. A superior source of Vitamin A from Blakeslea trispora: This has higher pro-vitamin A activity due to a higher content of trans-isomers, with no contaminants since it is processed in an enclosed environment.

2. Spirulina, a rich source of carotenoids: This contains the highest levels of beta-carotene and zeaxanthin.

3. Piperine, a bioenhancer: Piper nigrum extract providing 20% piperine, which is known to enhance the uptake of beta-carotene and reduce vitamin A deficiency.

Mode of Action:

  • Has a specific highly complex function in dark vision [2].
  • Serves as an essential component of rhodopsin, the light-sensitive protein in the retina that responds to light entering the eye, and because it supports the normal differentiation and functioning of the conjunctival membranes and cornea.
  • Functions as an immune enhancer that potentiates the antibody response; at the same time it maintains and restores the integration of all mucosal cells and their functions [1].
  • Actively involved in the production of red blood cells, which are derived from stem cells that depend upon retinoids for their proper differentiation [1].
  • Improve photo-aged and chronologically aged skin pathologies. They promote the deposition of new collagen fibers and prevent degradation from occurring in such skin types. [1]
  • Has the ability to scavenge for reactive oxygen species [1].
  • Vitamin A is known to be involved in the normal growth of the musculoskeletal system [1].
According to European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), clear health benefits have been established for the dietary intake of vitamin A in contributing to [3]:
  • normal cell differentiation;
  • normal function of the immune system;
  • the maintenance of normal skin and mucous membranes;
  • the maintenance of normal vision;
  • normal iron metabolism.
