Vitamin A help in Cellular Growth, Maintenance and Repair
The retinoic acid form of vitamin A is one of the essential
substances used to create and maintain the billions of cells in your body. It
actually influences gene expression and directly affects a large number of
important cellular processes.
This makes vitamin A especially important for pregnant
women, babies and growing children and any serious deficiency could be
particularly detrimental. Importantly though, excessive levels of synthetic
vitamin A supplements should also be avoided. In the case of pregnant women,
both vitamin A deficiency and overdose are linked to an increased risk of birth
defects.
