Summary:
Vitamin A or, as it is called, Retinol, is a fat-soluble organic compound. It is converted in the body from dietary beta-carotene and 3 other carotenoids. Vitamin A is required for vision and epithelial tissue health. Majority of vitamin A is stored in the liver. Our liver is such a multifunctional organ, isn't it?
But the question is, what causes Vitamin deficiency in the first place?
The normal range of vitamin A is 28–86 microgram per decilitre. Serum level below this normal range is considered a deficiency. Normally is it caused due to dietary deprivation over a long period of time.
Number 1. Frequent and persistent skin infections.
Vitamin A is responsible for playing an important part in the creation and repair of skin cells. Not taking enough amounts can lead to eczema and other skin problems.
This brings us to our number 2. Dandruff and dry hair.
By now you should have realised how interconnected our health issues are. Hair damage is not always the result of bad weather or shampoo; the reason might also be you preferring junk over innocent veggies. I know dreaming about your favourite burger can keep you up all night, but so can Vitamin A deficiency.
Number 3. Night Blindness and Dry Eyes
In severe cases of retinol deficiency, night blindness is often reported. In a 2005 study, it was reported that Vitamin A supplements improved the ability to adapt to darkness by 50% in women over six weeks of treatment. Women have more to do with Vitamin A than just the vision.
Number 4. Infertility and Troublesome conceiving
Vitamin A is not only important for development during pregnancy, but also for becoming pregnant. Its deficiency can lead to infertility in both men and women. Studies done in female rats have confirmed this. It can also lead to miscarriages. A study confirmed low vitamin A levels in women having recurrent miscarriages.
Last but not least. Throat Infections and Mouth Ulcers.
Nobody likes missing out on delicious food while waiting for mouth ulcers to heal, but have you ever thought your diet might be responsible for causing them in the first place? Vitamin A supplements, when given to those in need, can be helpful in treating respiratory tract infections and mouth ulcers to a great extent.
