Vitamin A

Vitamin A is not a single substance, but a group of substances that includes a whole range of organic compounds. Hardly any other nutrient is more essential for our bodily functions than vitamin A.

Vitamin A is called the eye vitamin. In 1500 BC, the Chinese used liver in honey, which is rich in vitamin A, as a cure for night blindness. In addition, vitamin A also helps to keep the skin and mucous membranes healthy.

Vitamin A promotes the production of collagen and regeneration of cells. It also protects against light-induced skin damage and has an antioxidant effect, which means that it protects the skin from free radicals.
