Vitamin A 10,000 IU: Clear Vision, Strong Immunity and Skin Health – Advanced Support for Mucous Membranes, Antioxidants and Cellular Balance

Vitamin A 10,000 IU, Swanson is a concentrated dietary supplement that provides vitamin A from two complementary sources: cod liver oil and vitamin A palmitate. This combination offers a well-absorbed and efficiently utilized form by the body, supporting essential functions such as vision health, skin and mucous membrane integrity, immune response and cellular differentiation processes. Each serving provides 3,000 mcg RAE (retinol activity equivalent), representing 333% of daily value, an intake intended for people pursuing intense nutritional support, especially in contexts where vitamin A requirements may be higher.

Vitamin A is a crucial fat-soluble nutrient for numerous biological processes. In the body, active forms of vitamin A (retinol, retinal and retinoic acid) are involved in maintaining eye health, regulating gene expression, tissue repair and normal immune system function. Moreover, vitamin A contributes to maintaining the body's natural barrier – skin and mucous membranes – where often begins defense against external factors. Through its complete profile, Vitamin A 10,000 IU, Swanson addresses people who want a classic, effective and concentrated formula, with multiple roles in daily health.

Detailed Benefits of Vitamin A (from cod liver oil and vitamin A palmitate)

• Supporting vision and adaptation to low light

One of the most well-known roles of vitamin A is its direct involvement in visual function. Retinal, an active form of vitamin A, is an essential component of rhodopsin, the visual pigment in the retina responsible for light perception, especially in low light conditions. When vitamin A levels are insufficient, the eyes' ability to adapt to darkness can decrease, and night vision becomes weaker.

Vitamin A contributes to:
- Maintaining normal retinal function
- Supporting visual clarity and eye comfort
- Supporting adaptation to light changes

✅ Supports night vision and adaptation to darkness
✅ Helps maintain retinal health and visual acuity
✅ Contributes to eye protection against oxidative stress

This support is valuable for people frequently exposed to screens, artificial light, nighttime activities or prolonged visual demand.

• Strengthening immunity and supporting defense response

Vitamin A is considered a key nutrient for immunity, as it influences both innate immunity (first line of defense) and adaptive immunity (specific immune response). It participates in maturation and function of immune cells and in maintaining healthy mucous membranes, which act as physiological barriers against microorganisms.

Vitamin A supports:
- Activity of immune cells involved in anti-infection response
- Normal antibody production
- Maintaining mucous membrane barrier integrity

✅ Contributes to more robust and balanced immunity
✅ Supports body defense at respiratory and intestinal level
✅ Helps the body respond efficiently to seasonal challenges

Through this mechanism, vitamin A is a basic support during periods of stress, fatigue, seasonal changes or increased exposure to external agents.

• Skin health and tissue regeneration

Skin is one of the body's largest organs and the first protective barrier against the environment. Vitamin A is essential for cellular differentiation and regeneration processes, contributing to maintaining smooth, elastic and resistant skin. Retinoic acid, the active form involved in gene expression regulation, influences cellular proliferation and synthesis of skin structural components.

Vitamin A contributes to:
- Normal epidermal regeneration
- Maintaining healthy skin appearance
- Supporting skin resilience to external factors

✅ Supports cellular renewal and skin texture
✅ Supports uniform appearance and natural recovery capacity
✅ Helps maintain a functional skin barrier

This role is especially important for skin exposed to cold, wind, pollution, sun or aggressive care.

• Maintaining mucous membrane health and natural barriers

Mucous membranes (respiratory, digestive, urogenital) are frequent entry points for external factors. Vitamin A supports maintenance of mucous membrane structure and function, helping normal mucus production and epithelial integrity. A healthy mucous membrane means a more efficient barrier and better local protection.

Vitamin A helps with:
- Maintaining intestinal mucosal integrity
- Supporting respiratory tract health
- Supporting body epithelial barriers

✅ Supports comfort and protection at respiratory and digestive level
✅ Contributes to optimal intestinal barrier function
✅ Supports the body's first line of defense

The connection between mucous membranes and immunity makes vitamin A a central nutrient for general resilience.

• Antioxidant support and protection against oxidative stress

Although vitamin A is known mainly for its functional roles, it also contributes to the body's antioxidant balance. Its forms and interactions with other antioxidant nutrients help maintain cellular health, reducing the impact of free radicals that form naturally through metabolism or as a result of external factor exposure.

Vitamin A contributes to:
- Protecting cells against oxidative stress
- Maintaining normal tissue function
- Supporting cellular balance in demanding conditions

✅ Helps protect cells from oxidative degradation
✅ Supports long-term health through cellular support
✅ Contributes to maintaining a more resilient body

This effect is especially relevant for people exposed to pollution, chronic stress, intense effort or unbalanced diets.

• Role in cellular differentiation and balance of body functions

Vitamin A is involved in cellular differentiation processes, meaning how cells specialize to perform precise functions. Retinoic acid influences gene expression and supports healthy tissue organization. Through this role, vitamin A is essential for maintaining functional balance of many body systems, including skin, mucous membranes, immunity and general health.

✅ Supports natural cellular renewal processes
✅ Contributes to maintaining normal tissue structure
✅ Supports vital functions that depend on cellular integrity

Through its concentrated formula, with vitamin A from cod liver oil and vitamin A palmitate, Vitamin A 10,000 IU, Swanson offers complete nutritional support for vision, immunity, skin and the body's natural barriers, addressing multiple physiological needs in a single essential formula.
