Natural Home Cures Freeze Dried Nopal Powder Capsules (Prickly Pear) Contain Vitamin A

^(*) See References and Disclaimer at the bottom of the page.

Our Freeze Dried Nopal Powder Capsules (Prickly Pear) contains vitamin A, which is a fat-soluble group of vitamins found mostly in animal-based foods such as eggs, liver, and in other food products that are fortified with Vitamin A^(1*).

Another vitamin A source comes from plants with a pigment called carotenoids^(2*). The right kind of carotenoid can be turned into Vitamin A from within our body. 

Beta-carotene yields more retinol than other carotenoids because of the extra retinyl functional group attached to it^(3*). Vitamin A is essential for reproduction, bone growth, vision, cell division, and differentiation^(4*). 

Vitamin A helps maintain healthy eyes and intestinal, urinary, and respiratory tracts^(5*). Moreover, it produces mucus membranes and skin, both of which act as a barricade against viruses and bacteria^(6*).

Vitamin A also aids in supporting the immune system by helping with the production of white blood cells that fend off all foreign micro-organisms^(7*).

Sources of Vitamin A
