Today we’re going to talk about the first sign of vitamin A deficiency: nyctalopia. Nyctalopia is night blindness.

The active form of vitamin A is called retinol. Retinol is needed for peripheral vision and to see in dim light.

Beta-carotene is the precursor to retinol—it needs to convert into retinol to become active.

Thinking that you’re getting enough of the active form of vitamin A because you’re consuming beta-carotene can cause you to become vitamin A deficient.

It’s important to consume the active form of vitamin A to support your eyes and your overall health.

Foods rich in vitamin A (retinol): • Cod liver oil • Grass-fed liver • Raw cheese • Butter (raw) • Cream (raw) • Egg yolk

Benefits of vitamin A: • It helps you see in the dark • It prevents dry eyes • It helps the eyes compensate • It helps prevent rough, scaly, or dry skin • It supports the immune system and helps prevent infections • It supports healthy mucus membranes and your internal skin • It helps support childhood development

Top causes of vitamin A deficiency: • Pregnancy • Breastfeeding • Polymorphism • Pasteurization • Low-fat diets • Liver damage • Lack of bile • Gut damage
