A Plus and Beta Carotene

A Plus is a combination of vitamin A & beta-carotene. Vitamin A is fat soluble, found in highest amounts in liver, eggs, dairy products, carrots, spinach, Kohlrabi, parsley, turnip greens, & apricots. Your body may also convert beta-carotene to vitamin A in your intestines. The primary food sources of beta-carotene are red, orange & yellow fruits & vegetables.

Dr. Slagle generally only recommends extra vitamin A for a short time for the treatment of upper respiratory illness. She believes the amount of vitamin A in a good multi vitamin mineral is otherwise sufficient. She also believes that in this day & age, with the food we eat and the lifestyles we lead, virtually everyone is in need of a high potency basic multi vitamin mineral supplement.*

Vitamin A is essential for many life functions:

• Helps maintain healthy immune system*
• Helps maintain heathy growth, reproduction & cell division*
• Helps maintain the integrity & function of all mucous membranes throughout your body. Gastrointestinal, upper & lower respiratory, reproductive & genitourinary.*

• Helps maintain healthy skin & epithelial cells*
• Helps maintain healthy cell membranes*
• Helps maintain healthy secretion of digestive-juices*

Vitamin A supplements reduce severe illness & mortality from infectious diseases among children with acute measles or who are from areas tending toward vitamin A deficiency.*
