Why buy Vitamin A 5000IU by HSN?

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.

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.

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.

Forget about using large quantities of pills!
