What Vitamin A Is
Vitamin A is a fat-soluble nutrient required for key physiological processes, including vision, immune function, epithelial maintenance, and cellular differentiation. In supplements, it is commonly provided as retinol esters, stable forms suited for controlled dosing.
Why Vitamin A Is Included in Apexx01
Vitamin A supports several essential functions recognised under EU regulations. It is included not for extremity, but to ensure a complete micronutrient baseline.
Vitamin A contributes to:
-
the maintenance of normal vision
-
the normal function of the immune system
-
the maintenance of normal skin
-
normal iron metabolism
-
the process of cell specialisation
Apexx01 aims to deliver a full foundational spectrum, and Vitamin A forms part of that requirement.
Why This Form: Retinol Acetate
Retinol acetate is selected because:
-
it is stable in multi-nutrient compositions
-
it converts reliably to active retinol
-
it allows precise and predictable dosing
-
it withstands environmental factors better than other forms
It provides a controlled and verifiable source of Vitamin A suitable for daily use.
Why This Dose: 400 µg RE
The dose is chosen to:
-
align with EFSA nutritional standards
-
avoid excessive intake when combined with dietary sources
-
ensure efficacy within a daily protocol
-
remain safe for long-term use
400 µg retinol equivalents is an optimal balance between coverage and safety.
EFSA-Recognised Nutritional Functions of Vitamin A
Vitamin A contributes to:
-
maintenance of normal vision
-
maintenance of normal skin
-
maintenance of normal mucous membranes
-
normal function of the immune system
-
normal iron metabolism
-
process of cell specialisation
How Vitamin A Works Inside the Full Formula
Vitamin A integrates with:
-
Zinc → vitamin A metabolism
-
Vitamin D → immune regulation pathways
-
Antioxidants → oxidative balance
-
Omega-3 fatty acids → structural cell membrane function
It forms part of the micronutrient foundation supporting cellular processes.
Why It Belongs in a Complete Daily Formula
A balanced all-in-one system must include fat-soluble vitamins in measured quantities. Vitamin A fulfils structural roles that cannot be replaced by water-soluble nutrients.
It supports baseline physiology, not acute effects, making it appropriate for daily consistency.
