vitamin A
beta carotene

    Vitamin A was discovered in 1913 by American researchers Elmer McCollum and Marguerite Davis.

nutritional information:

    A study at Finland’s University of Oulu in 2008 showed that drinking 13-1/2 ounces (oz.) of tomato juice and one serving of tomato ketchup per day for three weeks resulted in a 13% drop in bad LDL cholesterol levels. The antioxidants in tomatoes (especially lycopene, beta-carotene, and gamma-carotene) caused this result.

    IMPORTANCE: Necessary for growth & repair of body tissues; helps maintain smooth, soft disease-free skin; helps protect the mucous membranes of the mouth, nose , throat & lungs, thereby reducing susceptibility to infections; protects against air pollutants; counteracts night-blindness & weak eyesight; aids in bone and teeth formation. Current medical research shows that foods rich in Beta Carotene will help reduce the risk of lung cancer & certain oral cancers. Unlike Vitamin A from fish liver oil, Beta Carotene is non-toxic.

    DEFICIENCY SYMPTOMS: May result in night blindness; increased susceptibility to infections; rough, dry, scaly skin; loss of smell & appetite; frequents fatigue; lack of tearing; defective teeth & gums’ retarded growth.
