Vitamin A is HIGHLY therapeutic for inflammatory bowel disease.
25,000 IU / d:
⬩Reduced severe disease by over HALF
⬩3-4X'd gut healing
in ulcerative colitis.
Vitamin A supports gut immunity and lowers serotonin,
both of which are dysregulated in gut inflammation.

Vitamin A cures acne.
Before accutane, tons of research was done on the anti-acne benefits of oral vitamin A.
Here, 200,000 IU/d cured it within months.
Vitamin A is crucial for the proliferation and differentiation of skin cells,
without it, the debris clogs the pores.

Vitamin A (metabolite) dramatically stimulates brain cell growth.
Vitamin A's central function is to metabolize to regulate the expression of genes.
In the brain, this means it helps to promote the genes that govern how fast and mature brain cells grow.

Vitamin A is superior to steroids for masculinization.
Boys given 6,000 IU/d vitamin A:
• Grew testicles faster
• Improved height comparably
• Initiated puberty more reliably
vs testosterone or oxandrolone.
Vitamin A is necessary for production of all steroid hormones.

Vitamin A strikingly therapeutic for autoimmunity.
Decreasing the inflammatory:
• IL-17
• IFN-ɣ
• TNF-α
+ increasing the anti-inflammatory IL-10.
The balance of these factors determines immune reactivity.
Vitamin A is a primary determinant of that balance.

Vitamin A improves symptoms of autism... by lowering serotonin.
‣ Low vitamin A levels in autism
‣ HIGH serotonin in autism
‣ Digestive issues common in autism, from serotonin
Supplementing one megadose (200,000 IU) of vitamin A improves over half of symptoms measured.

Vitamin A improves asthma & allergies.
Vitamin A is so important for the immune system as it is needed for the multiplication of immune cells,
as well as their transformation into their proper types.
Here, it reduced lung damage, as well as markers like IgE in asthma.

Vitamin A improves mitochondrial function, increases metabolism.
Our mitochondria actually have their own genes.
It makes sense that a vitamin used primarily in gene regulation would be necessary for their function.
Vitamin A increases energy generation in mitochondria.

Vitamin A enhances thyroid function & metabolism.
25,000 IU daily:
✮ Decreases TSH
✮ Increases active T3 thyroid hormone
Vitamin A:
✮ Required for thyroid enhancement of metabolism
✮ Enhances iodine uptake in thyroid
✮ Increases thyroid protein + hormone production

Vitamin A prevents wrinkles.
The production and degradation of collagen are processes controlled by vitamin A.
Skin aging is improved during supplementation.

Vitamin A for 4K eyesight.
We see because light energy causes chemical reactions of vitamin A derivatives,
which transmits color signals to vision.
Poor vision is one of the most common signs of low vitamin A

VITAMIN A IN FOODS:
Vitamin A is most abundant in foods that are demonized by mainstream medical culture.
▻ Liver
▻ Egg yolks
▻ Dairy
▻ Grass fed butter
are the best sources. No wonder why over 50% of people don't get enough.
You can get vitamin A from plant foods, but it is unwise to rely on this method in my view.
The body must convert the plant form into the animal form.
The conversion is highly variable based on numerous factors.
4 ounces of beef liver weekly will get the job done,
or multiple eggs + servings of whole milk or cheese daily.
I do both.

SUPPLEMENTING VITAMIN A:
Anywhere from 5,000-10,000 IU daily seems reasonable.
It can be applied to the skin or taken orally, though the absorption is likely better orally.
Skin application might be useful for skin issues.
This is the brand we use: healthnatura.com/simply-a-2-500…

TESTING FOR VITAMIN A STATUS:
You can definitely get too much vitamin A, too.
Checking serum retinol periodically when supplementing is smart.
Zinc is needed for every aspect of vitamin A metabolism,
so an apparent vitamin A deficiency can actually be a zinc deficiency.
Sufficient Vitamin D is also necessary for preventing vitamin A toxicity, and vice versa.
Get enough of all 3.
