Vitamin A deficiency symptoms
Vitamin A is essentially benefits for the skin, hair, nails, and vision. It helps the immune system work better, helps fight infections and speeds up healing. Vitamin A also shields the skin from the harmful effects of the sun’s UV rays and protects the membranes of brain cells, which have lots of fat and thus are readily damaged by free radicals.
Both beta-carotene and vitamin A each have their own specific antioxidant properties.
A recent study by the Salk Institute for Biological Studies indicates vitamin A may be an important factor in memory and learning.
Beta-carotene appears to prevent lung cancer and tumors of the mouth and throat, and recent research has shown that it may protect against memory loss and other forms of cognitive impairment.
