Vitamin A plays an important role in many body processes and has been shown to support healthy vision, tissue and cellular function.**
Vitamin A is an important nutrient that is stored in the liver. Also known as retinol or retinoic acid, vitamin A supports healthy growth, cell division, vision, immunity, and even reproduction. Vitamin A is an umbrella term for two types of these fat-soluble nutrients found in both animals and plants. The body benefits from both types of vitamin A; however, some people may not prefer or be able to obtain it from animal sources found in dairy and meat.
NuMedica Vitamin A is an excellent source of the nutrient. Our supplement does NOT contain any milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, wheat, soy, peanuts, or tree nuts. Before taking any supplement, it's ideal to consult with your healthcare provider about dosing and possible interactions with medications you may be taking.
Vitamin A found in animal products is known as preformed vitamin A. The body can use the nutrient 'as is.' The vitamin A found in chicken, fish, meat, or dairy contains the compounds retinal, retinol, and retinoic acid. Vitamin A found in plants is known as provitamin A. It is an inactive form of the vitamin. In order to use it, our body converts it to the active form in the small intestine. The plant vitamin A, however, features healthful carotenoids like beta-carotene, beta cryptoxanthin, and alpha-carotene that are so important for supporting optimum health.
Vitamin A contains antioxidant properties that help the body combat free radicals, which are sometimes called the harbingers of disease. Antioxidants help protect the body's cells from these free radicals that are caused by everything from age to exposure to harmful chemicals in the air, water, or even our food. Free radicals can play a role in many diseases, including cancer and heart disease. A diet rich in antioxidants may help reduce risks for some diseases.
Various foods are rich in vitamin A and make great sources for the nutrient. These foods include liver, spinach, green leafy vegetables, carrots, cantaloupe, and dairy products. Unfortunately, many people may find it difficult to get the required daily recommended amounts of vitamin A in their diet. A supplement like NuMedica Vitamin A can be a safeguard to ensure that you're getting your recommended allowance of this important nutrient.
According to expert medical centers like Mayo Clinic, adult men should get 900 micrograms of vitamin A each day. Women should get 700 micrograms of vitamin A daily. Unlike some other vitamins, vitamin A is not water soluble; it's fat soluble. That means that it can be stored in the body's tissues.
Vitamin A plays an important role in supporting many aspects of our health like vision and organ function. Many people choose to take a supplement like NuMedica Vitamin A in order to ensure they are able to benefit from the benefits it may provide.
The compounds found in vitamin A are known to support vision health. Vitamin A can help reduce the risk for age-related vision decline. It may also help in the prevention of night blindness, which is a common symptom among people who are vitamin A deficient. Age-related macular degeneration is a leading cause of vision loss; eating foods rich in beta-carotene may be able to help combat the risk.
Vitamin A is known to help support the immune system and is involved in producing white blood cells that help remove bacteria from the body. If a person is vitamin A deficient, they may be more susceptible to infections.
Vitamin A has been linked to good bone health. In fact, people who are deficient in this nutrient have a higher risk for experiencing bone fractures. Other key nutrients like calcium and vitamin D also support bone health. Together, these vitamins play a role in keeping bones strong.
Order NuMedica Vitamin A to support optimum health. If you're not getting the recommended daily allowance of this nutrient, you may benefit from its supplemental use.
Caution: Studies have shown that excess vitamin A is not healthful for the body. As a fat-soluble vitamin, it can be stored in the tissues for months. Consequently, too much of the vitamin can lead to a build-up. Be sure to consult with your physician before taking a vitamin A supplement to ensure you get the proper dose.

Vitamin A
A nutrient that the body needs in small amounts to function and stay healthy. Vitamin A helps in vision, bone growth, reproduction, growth of epithelium (cells that line the internal and external surfaces of the body), and fighting infections. It is fat-soluble (can dissolve in fats and oils). Vitamin A is found in liver, egg yolks, and whole milk dairy products from animals and in fish oils. It can also be made in the body from a substance found in some fruits and vegetables, such as cantaloupes, carrots, spinach, and sweet potatoes. Vitamin A is being studied in the prevention and treatment of some types of cancer. Also called retinol.

A safe and accurate address for delivery must be provided at the time the order is placed. Once an order has shipped, SupplementRelief.com is NOT responsible for lost or stolen packages CONFIRMED BY THE CARRIER to be delivered to the address provided for the order.
Since COVID-19, and the ensuing economic challenges in the USA economy, we respectfully ask that you allow some additional time for delivery for the carriers (USPS, UPS, and FedEx). Most orders still arrive on time, or near on time, but some may run late. We make every effort to get your order packed and into the carriers hands the same day, or by the next business morning if your order came in later in the previous day after carrier pickup, but we have no control over any delays that may happen within the shipping carrier's delivery system. Please order earlier for the time being if you are time-sensitive.
Orders that contain only FirstFitness Nutrition products have a shipping fee automatically calculated based upon the actual shipping weight of the items purchased. The charge ranges from $4.95 to $14.95.
For orders with NuMedica products you may choose from the shipping options below on the Order Checkout form in the Shipping Information section on the first line that says Choose Shipping Method.
Country | Option | Schedule | Cost |
---|---|---|---|
United States | Standard | 3-6 Days | $4.95 |
United States | Priority | 2-4 Days | $9.95 |
United States | Free | 7-10 Days | $0.00 |
International | FedEx International | 4-7 Days | $79.95* |
International | GlobalPost International | 12-21 Days | $39.95* |
*International shipping costs may be higher depending upon package weight and destination. We will contact you for your approval of the additional amount if this occurs. |
SupplementRelief.com may use the email or phone number provided on your Order to call or text you regarding Order Status or to inform you of changes to the Order Policy.
When your order ships we will send you a confirmation email with the delivery tracking information.
Shipping anything these days internationally is expensive. COVID resulted in more rigorous customs import processes, and now with much higher energy prices, international shipping rates are higher.
FedEx is the most reliable and faster carrier, at least for now, but they are expensive. Our FedEx international shipping fee is a minimum of $79.95. It usually makes more sense to get several months of supply (3 months or more) in one order to minimize the shipping expense per order over time. While the added weight of additional items may increase the base shipping price by a little (usually 10-25% depending upon total weight and destination), it is usually not by very much relative to shipping an additional small order later.
We also offer a lower-cost international shipping option using GlobalPost International for $39.95. So far, they have been reliable in getting packages correctly delivered but it takes 2 - 4 times as long to get the package delivered. Packages may take longer to process in the receiving country's customs process and status updates may not be reported as quickly. Please be patient if you choose this option to save money.
Some International orders may cost more to ship depending upon weight and location. If that happens we will contact you first and get your approval for any additional charge before proceeding. International orders may also be subject to additional customs fees and duties/taxes based upon the destination country's customs import laws and policies. These fees are NOT known or included on our order form and are typically charged and collected by the shipping carrier when they are delivering the product to it's final destination once the package has cleared the destination country's customs process. It is recommended that the buyer research custom import fees for the products/services they are importing beforehand to be aware of potential, additional fees.
Our manufacturers formulate their probiotics to ensure their products retain viability until they reach the consumer. Probiotics that are recommended to be refrigerated remain so until the time of shipment, then shipped alongside an ice pack to ensure potency (Note: Ice pack will not arrive frozen, and product may not arrive cold). Orders placed on a Thursday-Sunday requiring cold shipping will not ship until the following Monday.
If your order has not been shipped yet, you can request a cancellation. Your original purchase amount will be refunded within three business days. If your order has already shipped, see Returns and Refunds.
If you want to make a change to your order, please email us as soon as possible so we can make the change before your order ships. If your order has already shipped you may incur additional shipping charges for the second shipment and the return label for any products returned.
If we have made a mistake on your order, or the product arrives in a damaged or unusable condition, we will make every reasonable effort to right the situation quickly to your satisfaction.
We accept returns subject to when the return is requested and the condition the product is returned in. All returns must first be authorized by contacting us. In your request, please let us know why you are returning the item(s). We will respond promptly with authorization, the return address, and a return shipping label if appropriate.
If your order has already shipped you can return any un-opened products within 30 days of receiving your order for a 100% refund of the price paid for the product, less the actual shipping charges we incurred to get the product to you originally and then returned, less a $10 restocking fee. Un-opened means the protective seal on the bottle or container, or the shrink-wrap on the box or kit, has not been broken and the product has not otherwise been damaged in any way. You may use the original packaging for the return or acquire your own. We will provide the return shipping label. We DO NOT accept returns for NuMedica products once the protective product seal has been broken.
Upon receipt of returned product(s), we will refund your credit card within three business days for the product(s) returned.
