In today's episode, we're talking about vitamin A deficiency.
A vitamin deficiency can be the result of: Vegetable oils, processed foods, poor conversion of beta carotene to Vitamin A (retinol), lack of protein intake, lack of absorption due to gallbladder issues or insufficient pancreatic enzymes can all contribute to vitamin A deficiency.
A low vitamin A status can increase the risk of respiratory illnesses and infectious diseases. Illness can also deplete our vitamin A levels. This is why it's important to support our bodies with vitamin A, so we don't prolong our illness or open the door for another illness.
Vitamin A is also critical for mobilizing and releasing iron from the liver. It's also needed for transporting iron to tissues that are in need of iron.
