Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have had good results in general with the solgar brand. I found this dry version to be very effective beyond some of the things like acne that most may hear about and is in a good dose that I can adjust as needed adding more or cutting while being inexpensive. Another one I used is cod liver oil from rosita's or nordic naturals-arctic, but not the D fortified version as a more natural version. This being a tablet is convenient when that is not an option. There’s a common misunderstanding that beta-carotene found in fruits and vegetables is the same thing as vitamin A. Beta Carotene can be converted to retinol which is the active form, but I found that almost half of everyone have variants in our BCMO1 gene which cause a 30% to 70% decrease in the amount of vitamin A that we can convert from beta-carotene.This means that – contrary to popular wisdom – vegetables like carrots and red peppers are not adequate food sources of vitamin A for most. I would imagine that would impact vegetarians/vegans the most, but I dont get much of the retinol forms of A too often and my multi has beta carotene form so I decided to supplement. I also found out that Vitamin D depletes Retinol in the liver and vitamin A is also necessary for increasing the production of ceruloplasmin to make copper and iron more bio available. The body uses retinol in a variety of ways including in stem cells, photoreceptors in the eye, epithelial cells, embryonic cells, various immune cells, red blood cells, and much more. Not very scientific, but I believe my eyes stuck together when I woke up when the A was low. Let me know what you find. Has my review been of help to you?
