7 amazing health benefits of retinol, the active form of Vitamin A. (Provitamin A)

Retinol is an essential nutrient which we need between 700-900mcg per day to maintain a healthy body. This comes from animal based foods including liver, eggs, butter, fish and meats.

You can't get the active form of Vitamin A from carrots or vegetables, as only 2-3% of this previtamin a (beta-carotene) is converted to the active form.

In this video we explore why you need retinol, and it's benefits for lubricating the skin, balancing oil production, protecting eyesight, helping you to see better at night, strengthening bones, protecting the lungs and much more
