Vitamin A

Vitamin A er avgjørende for syn, immunfunksjon og hudhelse. Det hjelper med synet, spesielt i svakt lys, og holder hud og slimhinner sunne. Vitamin A finnes i matvarer som gulrøtter, søtpoteter og bladgrønnsaker. Animalske kilder inkluderer lever og meieriprodukter. For lite kan føre til synsproblemer og et svekket immunsystem. Vitamin A støtter også vekst og reproduksjon.

Beskrivelse

Who would benefit from testing their vitamin A levels?

Individuals who might need vitamin A testing include those with dietary restrictions like vegans, people with digestive disorders like Crohn’s disease, older adults with varied diet needs, and those experiencing vision or skin problems. Children and pregnant women also benefit from such testing due to their high vitamin A requirements for proper growth and development.

What are symptoms of low vitamin A?
  • Night blindness
  • Dry eyes
  • Skin dryness and itching
  • Frequent infections
  • Delayed wound healing
  • Thinning or brittle hair
  • Dry, scaly skin
  • Increased susceptibility to respiratory and urinary infections
What foods are high in vitamin A?

Foods high in vitamin A include liver, which is particularly rich in this nutrient, and dairy products like cheese and butter. Orange and yellow vegetables and fruits, such as carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, and mangoes, are excellent sources due to their beta-carotene content, which the body converts to vitamin A. Leafy green vegetables like spinach and kale also contain significant amounts of vitamin A.

The body converts beta-carotene to vitamin A in the small intestine, but this process varies with dietary beta-carotene levels, overall nutrition, genetics, and health. Factors like fat and protein intake, genetic differences, and digestive health can impact this conversion’s efficiency.

What are the benefits of vitamin A supplementation?

Vitamin A supplementation is beneficial for improving vision, especially in preventing night blindness. It also plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy skin, supporting immune function, and promoting cell growth. This is particularly important in areas or populations where vitamin A deficiency is prevalent. Additionally, vitamin A supplements can aid in reducing the risk of certain infectious diseases and may have a role in ensuring healthy pregnancy outcomes. However, it’s important to manage the dosage carefully, as excessive vitamin A intake can have adverse effects.

Hjemmetesten var enkel med tydelige instruksjoner å følge. Testresultatet var detaljert og klart presentert. Fikk også muligheten til å stille spørsmål om testresultatet.

Vi så på mange selskaper som tilbyr de samme tjenestene, men bestemte oss for å gå videre med GetTested på grunn av gode anbefalinger fra andre som har brukt dem. Prosessen har vært veldig enkel.

Det er andre leverandører der ute, jeg har prøvd tre. GetTested var den raskeste og kundeservicen var den beste, både veldig kompetente og trevlige.

Helt perfekt, resultatene kom etter noen dager, og etter mange besøk hos fastlegen, vet vi endelig hvorfor sønnen min har eksem – han er allergisk mot hvete. Tusen takk.

Jeg opplevde dem som profesjonelle og ventetiden for resultatene var ikke for lang. De var hjelpsomme med eventuelle etterfølgende spørsmål. Vil bruke dem igjen ved behov. Jeg anbefaler dem på det sterkeste.
