Who Needs Vitamin A Drops

Are you looking to support the health of your skin, vision, teeth and overall body? Maintaining normal levels of the active form of Vitamin A, retinyl palmitate, plays an important role in supporting health in these areas.^†

Vitamin A Drops is an effective formula containing 1,500 mcg RAE (5,000 IU) of vitamin A per single drop.

If you can relate to one or more of the following statements, then Vitamin A Drops may be helpful for you, or your kid, in supporting a healthy immune system, eyes, skin and throat.^†

Driving at night is difficult for me. I would like to be able to see well at night.

My skin is very dry and, in places, has little bumps. I would like to support healthy skin.

I struggle with a lot of pimples, acne and oil on my face and other parts of my body. I would like to support healthy, clear skin.

My throat is itchy and a bit sore. I would like to be able to swallow with ease and have a healthy throat.

My eyes are dry. I would like my eyes to feel moist and healthy.

I tend to get sick easily. I would like to support a healthy immune system.

I have a genetic variation in the BCMO1 gene which slows my ability to convert beta-carotene to retinol.

I am a vegan or vegetarian. I get beta-carotene but I don’t eat many foods containing the retinol type of vitamin A.

I have a skin injury or wound. I would like to support healthy regrowth of my cells so I can heal.

I struggle with leaky gut and do not absorb nutrients very well.

I had bariatric surgery and do not absorb nutrients very well.

Vitamin A Drops contain an effective amount of vitamin A. Unlike beta-carotene, retinyl palmitate is a biologically active form that can be used directly by your body. This form also bypasses common genetic variations in the BCO1 gene, which may affect a large portion of the population.^†

Many vitamin A supplements contain unfavorable ingredients such as soy, rancid fish oils, rancid fatty acids and low quality liver oils. Many contain only beta-carotene. This carotenoid requires multiple biochemical, and enzymatic, conversions before becoming the bioactive form of retinol.

Here at Seeking Health, we understand the importance of a pure form vitamin A. Our Vitamin A Drops provide you with high-quality retinol in a liposomal form that your body can efficiently absorb and utilize.^†

Vitamin A Drops support healthy:^†

Overall immune health
Antioxidant function
Skin & mucous membranes
Eye health, including tear production, and night vision
Dental health, including normal saliva production
Fertility (female & male)
Normal growth and development
Wound healing

Side effects of vitamin A deficiency can include:

Night blindness
Dry skin or flaky skin
Acne
Dry eyes
Infertility
Immune issues
Poor wound healing
Birth defects
Fetal heart disease or abnormality

A deficiency of this fat-soluble vitamin can occur for several reasons. You can have a variation in your BC01 gene, which converts the inactive form of vitamin A from fruits and vegetables called beta-carotene to the active form that your body can use, retinyl palmitate. This active form of vitamin A is only found in animal food sources and dairy products. For example, concentrated natural omega-3 fish oil or liver oil are great sources of retinyl palmitate.

Individuals who eat a plant-based diet often exhibit lower levels of this active form of vitamin A. Bright orange fruits, like cantaloupe, and vegetables, like sweet potatoes, contain the carotenoid beta-carotene, an inactive or “pre-” vitamin form of vitamin A. Unfortunately, the conversion of this type of pre-vitamin to the actual vitamin A is not very efficient. This is why vitamin A supplements are often important for vegetarians, and particularly vegans. They are typically more prone to being below the recommended dietary allowance (RDA).^†

Zinc deficiency is another cause for low levels of vitamin A in the blood. Zinc is required to help transport vitamin A throughout the body, but a zinc deficiency means that less vitamin A stores in the liver are moved to the body’s tissues. If you have lower levels of vitamin A, consider having your zinc levels checked out, and look into supplementing with our Zinc Lozenge.^†

Seeking Health’s Vitamin A Drops can be taken by anyone wishing to optimize their vitamin A intake or requiring vitamin A supplementation, especially those who have trouble swallowing traditional pills or capsules.^†

As a fat-soluble nutrient, vitamin A is more difficult to absorb than water-soluble vitamins. Per drop, Seeking Health’s Vitamin A Drops deliver 750 mcg of vitamin A inside a well-absorbed liposome. Liposomes are known for superior absorption. This is especially important for those having difficulty absorbing nutrients.^†

Why Vitamin A Drops Works

Why Vitamin A Drops Works

Vitamin A is a fat soluble vitamin that is stored in the liver. It has a structure similar to some hormones, and appears to act like a hormone. Much like vitamin D, vitamin A will bind to receptors on DNA that leads to the transcription of many genes. When new tissues are being built, it is imperative that genes are read often and correctly. This is true when fast dividing cells need to be replaced or replicated such as in the intestines. This is also why vitamin A is essential for sperm development, oocyte development, fetal development, lung tissue health, eye health, and skin replication and repair.^†

Have you ever noticed that the word “retina” has the same root as retinoids? Both rod and cone cells in the eyes use different forms of retinoids (vitamin A) in order to process light signals. Rods determine whether something is light or dark. Cones help us see both light and color.

You may have heard that vitamin A can be found in foods like sweet potatoes and other brightly-colored fruits and vegetables. However, it’s important to realize that the form of vitamin A found in plants is beta-carotene. This is not an active, usable form of vitamin A.

It is critical to get vitamin A in its active form, called retinol. Why? Because not everyone can adequately convert the inactive form, beta-carotene, into the active form, retinol. One of the enzymes responsible for converting beta-carotene into retinol in the liver is called beta-carotene oxygenase 1 (BCO1).^†

The most common type of gene variation is called a Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNPs). Certain SNPs in the BCO1 gene may slow down your BCO1 enzymes and reduce this conversion. This leads to lower vitamin A utilization. Even without SNPs, your body has to work harder to convert beta-carotene into its active retinol form. Consuming vitamin A as retinyl palmitate, an active form of vitamin A, is key to bypassing this enzymatic conversion and getting the best utilization of vitamin A in the body.^†

Now, in the presence of retinyl palmitate, retinoic acid is then formed which helps support a healthy inflammatory response. When retinoic acid is released to immune cells during inflammation, it works as an antioxidant.^†

This helps support the following:^†

Overall immune health
Healthy skin and mucous membranes
Ocular and dental health

By supplementing with Seeking Health’s Vitamin A Drops, you’re getting the active source of vitamin A. Vitamin A Drops is an effective formula containing 1,500 mcg (retinol activity equivalents) RAEs of vitamin A per single drop in a highly-absorbable liposomal delivery of retinyl palmitate.^†

How to Enhance Vitamin A Drops

Consider Pulsing

Dr. Ben Lynch recommends using certain dietary supplements based on your need for them. Start with a partial serving and increase slowly over time to the full serving, only if needed. When you start feeling good, consider reducing the serving size, skipping days, or pausing supplementation. Then take again when you feel you need it (stressful day, traveling, chemical exposure, etc.), hence "pulsing." Work with your qualified healthcare practitioner to determine what's best for you.
