Before I had carpal tunnel syndrome (pinched nerve), I already had an experience that made me know how important vitamins are to our health.

I had carpal tunnel syndrome , I already had an experience that made me know how important vitamins are to our health. This story I am about to share must have happened around year 2000. I fell ill and after taking anti-malaria medications, I noticed I did not get better, so I had to go to the hospital. My blood sample was taken and when the results came, the doctor reeled them out and explained to me.

This week, I will be discussing vitamin A but before I proceed, I will like you to know that in this series, I will not discuss symptoms of the deficiencies of these vitamins because they may leave you guessing that it is a vitamin deficiency you are suffering from when in the actual fact it may be something of serious concern that warrants running to your doctor.

Preformed vitamin A is more readily absorbed and utilised by your body than plant-based sources of provitamin A carotenoids. Although, provitamin A is abundant in many fruits and vegetables, it is not always efficiently converted into retinol, the active form of vitamin A. For this, Vegans should include a really rich source of carotenoids in their daily diets to meet their requirements since preformed vitamin A is only found in animal-sourced foods.
