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.*
