Vitamin A is essential for the maintenance of healthy epithelial tissue, which is found in the eyes, skin, respiratory system, GI and urinary tracts. Vitamin A is required for synthesis of photoreceptor pigments of rods and cones, the integrity of skin and mucosae, normal tooth and bone development; normal reproductive capabilities; and has important antioxidant properties which translate into anticancer and antiatherosclerosis effects. Vitamin D promotes calcium absorption and calcium transport to bones. It can regulate the phosphorus balance in the body and helps to maintain the heart muscle and protects nerves from deterioration. |
