What is Vitamin A 5000IU?

Vitamin A 5000IU from EssentialSeries is a dietary supplement in vegan tablets based on retinyl acetate as a form of Vitamin A, an ester of retinyl acetate.

Retinol, or Vitamin A, is a nutritionally indispensable fat-soluble vitamin whose insufficiency becomes evident when food sources of pro-Vitamin A carotenoids are significantly reduced, meaning that its dietary supplementation is recommended for people whose diets are low in vegetables.

Vitamin A 5000IU is a dietary supplement suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

Why buy Vitamin A 5000IU from HSN?

High concentration

Each Vitamin A tablet contains 1700mcg of retinyl acetate.

A concentration equivalent to 1500mcg of retinol, 5000 International Units of Vitamin A normalised to the conversion standards for retinol equivalents by the European Food Safety Authority.

Highly bioavailable form

Because of its chemical configuration (-OH) retinol is not stable in the environment, this means it becomes esterified in tissues and is present in the form of esters in food supplements.

Of these, retinyl acetate has the highest potency and biological activity for conversion to retinol.

Reversible esterase action in the body converts it to retinol. And how do you find out its activity?

With the RE or 'Retinol Equivalents' that we indicate in our nutritional information, both in micrograms and in international units (1500mcg / 5000 IU).

This is unlike other companies, who indicate the amount of ester in the foreground, which in the case of retinyl acetate is 15% more... But in cases such as retinyl palmitate is 82% more.

At HSN, we are 100% transparent, and we tell you everything:

Easy to take

Thanks to the high concentration of Vitamin A per tablet, you only need to take one tablet a day to reach the recommended amount.

Forget about having to take a large amount of pills to get effective doses!
