Why supplement?

Marked asPrimarySupporting

Primary

Supply vitamin A precursors

Root beta-carotene converts to retinal in the gut mucosa; fat-soluble absorption needs dietary fat. People with poor night vision and dry, flaking skin more often notice dark adaptation and skin moisture after several continuous weeks. Conversion to retinal is more complete when the same meal includes fat.

Supporting
