GNC Vitamin A 3000mcg Supplement, 180 Softgels

Key Benefits of Vitamin A

Vitamin A is well-known for helping maintain normal vision, especially in low light. It also keeps skin healthy by encouraging cell turnover and protecting against environmental factors. Each softgel provides 3000 mcg of vitamin A (as retinyl palmitate), a form your body can use straight away. This supplement also offers antioxidant support, helping neutralise free radicals that can cause cellular damage.

• Supports Normal Vision: Helps the retina function properly, particularly in dim lighting.
• Promotes Healthy Skin: Aids in skin cell renewal and repair.
• Antioxidant Protection: As a fat-soluble antioxidant, it helps fight free radicals.

What Is Vitamin A?

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin essential for good vision, healthy skin, and overall wellbeing. It comes in two main forms: preformed vitamin A (retinol) from animal foods like liver and dairy, and provitamin A carotenoids (such as beta-carotene) from plants. The retinol form is ready for your body to use, while carotenoids need to be converted – a process that’s not very efficient. GNC’s supplement uses retinyl palmitate, a stable retinol form, for reliable absorption without relying on conversion.

Types of Vitamin A: Retinol vs Beta-Carotene

Dietary vitamin A falls into two categories. Preformed vitamin A (retinol) comes from animal sources and is directly usable. Provitamin A carotenoids (like beta-carotene) from plants must be transformed into retinol inside the body, with only a small fraction converting. The GNC supplement provides retinyl palmitate, ensuring you get a consistent dose every time without depending on that inefficient conversion.

How Much Vitamin A Do You Need?

The recommended dietary intake (RDI) for vitamin A varies: adult men need 900 mcg RAE per day, adult women 700 mcg, with higher needs during pregnancy and breastfeeding. GNC Vitamin A 3000mcg delivers 3000 mcg RAE per serve – above the RDI but still within the safe upper limit of 3000 mcg RAE for adults. Always check with your healthcare professional before starting any new supplement.
