What is Vitamin A?

Vitamin A is found in foods that come from animals. It is absorbed in the form of retinol, one of the most usable (active) forms of vitamin A. Sources are liver, whole milk, and some fortified food products. Retinol can be converted to retinal and retinoic acid (other active forms of vitamin A) in the body. Vitamin A occurs naturally in animal products like liver, kidney, butter, egg yolks, whole milk and fortified skim milk.

Vitamin A, which is found in colorful fruits and vegetables is called provitamin A carotenoid. They may be made of retinol in the body. Common provitamin A carotenoids found in plant foods - beta-carotene, alpha-carotene and beta-cryptoxanthin. Of these, the most efficient passes into retinol beta-carotene. Alpha-carotene and beta-cryptoxanthin are also converted to vitamin A, but half as effective beta - carotene is an antioxidant. Antioxidants protect cells from damage caused by unstable substances called free radicals. Free radicals are believed to contribute to certain chronic diseases and play a role in the degenerative processes seen in aging. Sources of beta - carotene are carrots, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, winter squashes, cantaloupe, pink grapefruit, apricots, broccoli, spinach, and most dark green leafy vegetables. The more intense color a fruit or vegetable, the more high content of beta - carotene. These vegetable sources of beta - carotene are free of fat and cholesterol.

What is vitamin D?

Vitamin D, calciferol, is a fat - soluble vitamin. It is known as "solar" vitamin because it is formed in the body by the action of ultraviolet rays on the skin. Vitamin D is converted in the kidneys of the hormone calcitriol, which actually is the most active form of vitamin D. The effect of this hormone are targeted to the intestine and the bone.

What makes Vitamin D?

The primary biological function of vitamin D is to maintain normal levels of calcium and phosphorus. Vitamin D helps calcium absorption, thus helping to form and maintain strong bones. It stimulates bone mineralization in conjunction with a number of other vitamins, minerals and hormones. Without vitamin D, bones can become thin, brittle, soft, or misshapen. Vitamin D prevents rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults, which are skeletal diseases that result in defects that weaken the bones.
