Among the vitamins it is considered an indispensable source of well-being and for the correct development of the organism: vitamin A, also known as "retinol", one of the essential micronutrients for human health. Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin, discovered in the 1930s by the Swiss chemist Kerrer. Already at the beginning of the century, however, many scientists had noticed that a fat-soluble factor was present in some foods, such as butter and eggs, which was essential for the correct development of rats. Subsequently, in the 1920s it was understood how the dietary deficiency of this factor could be correlated with growth disturbances and in particular with children's eyesight.

Vitamin A is an essential micronutrient for various body functions. First of all, it serves for some enzymatic processes necessary for the correct development of bones, as well as for the maintenance of the functions of the ovarian and testicular systems. It performs different functions such as storage, transport and cellular differentiation, but its most important and well recognized functions concern the visual process, in particular in the functioning of the photoreceptors on the retina, as well as for the normal growth process of the fetus from the stage embryonic. The benefits on visual functions are in fact the best known, so much so that even in popular tradition it is customary to remember how vitamin A is an excellent aid to eyesight.

The benefits of vitamin A do not end here, but it offers excellent support in the dermatological field against eczema and psoriasis, for the treatment of juvenile acne, on the maintenance of hair, nails and mucous membranes, helping to delay aging and to stimulate cell renewal. This vitamin helps maintain the integrity of the epithelium (tissues that cover the apparatus) and is to be considered a real ally for the defense of the skin since its presence increases the protective function against the damage caused by sun exposure. A further benefit of this vitamin also concerns the reproductive systems, both male and female, as it favors an increase in the production of sperm and reduces the unpleasant effects of premenstrual syndrome. However, vitamin A is to be considered a good antioxidant against free radicals, especially if associated with vitamin E, useful for slowing down the cellular aging process, as well as for keeping hair, nails and mucous membranes in shape.
