Hi-Po Emulsi-A™ is a high-potency formula that delivers
concentrated vitamin A in a convenient liquid form. Just one
drop of this unique product provides 5000 IU of vitamin A
as retinol palmitate (1500 mcg retinol activity equivalents,
or RAE).
Vitamin A versus carotenoids
True vitamin A occurs only in animal foods. Compounds called
carotenoids, which are found in plant foods, are precursors to
vitamin A and can be converted into vitamin A. (You may be
familiar with beta-carotene, a carotenoid compound
responsible for the orange and green pigments in foods such
as carrots, sweet potatoes, cantaloupe, and various leafy
greens. Other carotenoids you might be familiar with, such as
lutein and lycopene, do not have vitamin A activity.)
Carotenoids are not a dependable source of vitamin A for all
individuals because absorption of carotenoids from plant
foods varies widely and is influenced by numerous factors.
These include processing techniques, the concentration of the
carotenoid in the food, and the amounts of dietary fat, fiber,
and preformed vitamin A in the diet, as well as an individual’s
vitamin A status and gut integrity. Genetic factors also aect
carotenoid metabolism, with some people’s bodies converting
carotenes into vitamin A more readily than others’. Regarding
preformed vitamin A, various health conditions and use of
certain pharmaceutical drugs may reduce absorption, so
some individuals may benefit from supplementation.

Immune function
Vitamin A plays a critical role in supporting immune function.
Several dierent types of cells with distinct functions all
contribute to a healthy immune system. Vitamin A influences
the dierentiation and specialization of these cells so that
they can perform their unique roles. This key nutrient also
contributes to the structural integrity and barrier function of
the skin and the lining of the intestines and respiratory tract,
which are among the body’s first lines of defense against
unwanted organisms.

Other roles of vitamin A
Apart from supporting immune function, vitamin A is well
known for promoting eye health—specifically, it is required
for helping the eyes adjust to dierent levels of light or
darkness and also plays a role in helping to distinguish
dierent colors. Vitamin A is needed for healthy thyroid
function and production of thyroid hormones, as well as for
supporting mobilization of iron from body stores so it can be
incorporated into red blood cells. Vitamin A’s influence on
thyroid hormones and red blood cells means it may also
contribute to cellular energy production (which influences
overall energy levels), a healthy metabolism, and a positive
mental outlook.
