Description

We offer Vitamin A in the form of Retinol as both capsules and drops.

Per serving, both dosage forms each provide 2000 I.U. Vitamin A – ideal for daily Vitamin A supplementation. Our Retinol drops are particularly suitable for people who prefer high-dose Vitamin A and desire flexible dosing.

The Vitamin A drops or capsules can be easily integrated into everyday life and contribute, amongst other things, to the maintenance of normal skin.

Below we provide you with practical guidance on taking edubily Vitamin A products so you can use them optimally. In a jar with 180 capsules or 20 ml oil.

What distinguishes our Vitamin A capsules?

Our Vitamin A capsules offer Vitamin A in the most bioavailable form as Retinol, which means that the body can absorb and use it directly.

This form is ideal for Vitamin A supplementation, especially if you are looking for high-dose Vitamin A.

The simple dosing makes our Retinol drops the most flexible option, whereas each capsule provides 2,000 I.U. Vitamin A, which is practical for daily use, especially on the go.

  • High Bioavailability
    Retinol is absorbed directly by the body, which maximises bioavailability.

    Scientific research shows that Retinol, compared to other forms such as Beta-carotene, is converted faster and more completely into active Vitamin A compounds. (1)
  • Individually Dosable
    With our drops, which contain 400 I.U. Vitamin A per drop, you can adjust the dosing to suit your needs.

    Our capsules offer a fixed dose of 2,000 I.U., perfect for a standardised daily intake.
  • Without Unwanted Additives
    The drops are dissolved in high-quality MCT oil, whilst the capsules contain the filler rice flour. Both products are free from unnecessary additives.
  • Tested for Heavy Metals
    Our products are regularly tested for heavy metals, including arsenic, to ensure the highest purity and safety.
    Current test reports can be found on our website.

Why is Vitamin A so valuable?

Vitamin A is an essential nutrient that plays a key role in numerous biological processes. It controls extremely many processes and a variety of genes via retinoic acid.

This results in the following functions in the body, amongst others:

  • It contributes to normal iron metabolism.
  • It contributes to the maintenance of normal mucous membranes.
  • It contributes to the maintenance of normal skin.
  • It contributes to the maintenance of normal vision.
  • It contributes to normal immune system function.

Through these diverse functions, Vitamin A is an essential nutrient. A balanced diet or the use of Vitamin A supplements can help to supply the body optimally with this important vitamin.

In particular, when following a diet rich in plant-based foods, supplementation with Vitamin A can be worthwhile, as these foods often contain less Retinol.

Buy Vitamin A Capsules and Vitamin A Drops: Our Product in Focus

We at edubily offer both Retinol drops and capsules to meet different needs and preferences.

Both dosage forms represent a reliable way to meet the daily requirement for this important vitamin.

The choice is between Vitamin A, dissolved as Retinyl palmitate in MCT oil, taken in drop form, and as capsules, where Retinyl acetate is mixed with only a small amount of rice flour. Both sources were conceived on the basis of the KISS principle: Keep it simple and stupid.

Both the drops and the capsules deliver 2000 International Units or 600 µg (75 % NRV) in the daily dose. They differ only in the compound: our drops contain Retinyl palmitate, which is fat-soluble.

Retinyl acetate, on the other hand, is a solid. Both forms are broken down into Retinol in the intestine.

In this way it is possible for everyone to meet their Vitamin A requirement through the means of their choice and to order our Vitamin A capsules or the oil. Both are ideal for targeted Vitamin A supplementation.

What can inhibit Vitamin A absorption?

The absorption of Vitamin A can be impaired by various factors.

  1. A high-fibre diet can reduce the bioavailability of fat-soluble vitamins such as Vitamin A, as dietary fibre can inhibit fat absorption in the intestine.
  2. A lack of dietary fats can impair absorption, as Vitamin A is fat-soluble and requires fat to be optimally absorbed in the body.
  3. Certain health conditions, such as intestinal diseases or liver diseases, can negatively affect Vitamin A absorption.
  4. High amounts of other carotenoids, such as lutein or lycopene, can reduce the conversion of Beta-carotene to Retinol and thus impair the supply of Vitamin A.

The various factors show that it is important to consider both the quality and composition of the diet.

A balanced intake of dietary fats is crucial to ensure optimal absorption of fat-soluble vitamins such as Vitamin A.

Furthermore, people with certain health problems, such as intestinal diseases or liver problems, should pay particular attention to their Vitamin A intake.

Overall, it is advisable to maintain a varied diet that is both rich in essential nutrients and healthy fats to ensure adequate Vitamin A intake.

Who are Vitamin A drops or capsules particularly suitable for?

Vitamin A drops or capsules are particularly suitable for people who wish to control their Vitamin A intake deliberately.

People who have difficulty absorbing Vitamin A from food due to certain health conditions or restricted fat absorption can benefit from these dietary supplements.

Vegans, who rely on plant-based sources, might also prefer Vitamin A supplements, as these often contain a bioavailable form of the vitamin.

Furthermore, Vitamin A drops or capsules are ideal for people who, due to a hectic lifestyle, seek a practical and easy-to-dose way to meet their daily Vitamin A requirement.

The bioavailability of Vitamin A precursors depends on these factors

The bioavailability of Vitamin A precursors, such as Beta-carotene, depends on several factors.

  1. Dietary composition: A key aspect is the dietary composition; an adequate amount of dietary fat is necessary to promote the absorption of fat-soluble carotenoids in the intestine.
  2. Genetic differences: Likewise, genetic differences play a role, as certain gene variants can affect the efficiency of the conversion of Beta-carotene into active Vitamin A.
  3. Health status: Other influencing factors are the general state of health, in particular the function of the liver and intestines, as well as the presence of other nutrients and compounds that can either inhibit or promote absorption.
  4. Food processing: Finally, the processing of food, such as cooking or blending, can increase the bioavailability of carotenoids by breaking down cell structures and facilitating the release of nutrients.
