Vitamin Deficiency Anemia

Some information about vitamins A. 

I saw this interesting research concerning vitamin A deficiency.

Vitamin A, or retinol, is involved in the function of the retina of the eye.

When it comes to this deficiency the prevention is better than the cure. This is stated with the reasoning that when a deficiency persists too long without treatment the effects are all to often irreversible.

Vitamin A deficiency attacks the systems of the body responsible for resisting infections and disease.Studies show that children with this deficiency fall sick more often and take much longer to recover than those with the proper intake of vitamin A.

Some recent research shows:

Worldwide, 350,000 children go blind each year due to Vitamin A deficiency

1 in 4 deaths are caused by Vitamin A deficiency

30% of the Worlds blindness is attributed to Vitamin A deficiency

Vitamin A deficiency is the single greatest preventable cause of childhood blindness

Most at risk by this deficiency are children 6 months to 6 years old. Breastfeeding provides a natural source of Vitamin A.

The most common way to supplement those with a deficiency involves the use of high quality dietary supplements.

Around the world many countries, including the United States, participate in food fortification. This is where Vitamin A is added to foods such as flour, sugar, milk and oil to help provide the necessary amount our bodies require.

Here at VitaMist we are proud to offer our contribution to fight this deficiency.

Our scientists have taken certain nutrients, including vitamins A, C and E, zinc and selenium, and combined them into one formula. VitaSight, our answer in supporting good eye health.
