Vitamin A 100sg by Douglas Laboratories – Vision Support Vitamin A Softgels
Vitamin A softgels by Douglas Laboratories provide preformed vitamin A in an adult dietary supplement. The formula combines vitamin A palmitate and fish liver oil from cod, supplying vitamin A in a form that does not depend on conversion from beta-carotene.
This is a concentrated vitamin A supplement, not a general-purpose multivitamin. Review your total intake with your healthcare professional before using it.
Key Vitamin A 100sg Benefits
- Provides nutritional vision support by supplying the vitamin used in light-sensitive proteins that help the eyes respond to changing light.
- Supports normal immune function through vitamin A’s role in the development and specialization of immune cells throughout the body.
- Helps maintain healthy skin and mucosal tissues by supporting normal cell differentiation, the process that gives cells their specialized roles.
How Vitamin A 100sg Works
Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin: it is absorbed alongside dietary fat and can be stored in the liver. The body converts it into retinal, which helps light-sensitive proteins in the eyes respond to light, and retinoic acid, which helps direct how cells develop and specialize. These normal processes link vitamin A nutrition with vision and tissue maintenance.
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- Vitamin A: Supports normal vision by providing the material needed for light-sensitive proteins in the retina. Its active forms also help regulate how cells specialize, contributing to normal immune-cell function and the maintenance of skin and mucosal surfaces. Because preformed vitamin A accumulates in the body, total intake matters.
Vitamin A 100sg Is Formulated For
- Adults whose healthcare professional has identified a need for additional preformed vitamin A.
- Adults seeking a single-vitamin softgel rather than a broad multivitamin, after reviewing other vitamin A sources.

Frequently Asked Questions About Vitamin A 100sg
What are the benefits of Vitamin A 100sg?
Vitamin A supports normal vision, immune-cell function and the maintenance of skin and mucosal tissues. This Douglas Laboratories formula supplies preformed vitamin A from vitamin A palmitate and cod liver oil rather than relying on beta-carotene conversion.
Who should take Vitamin A 100sg?
This adult softgel is for people whose healthcare professional has determined that supplemental preformed vitamin A is appropriate. It is not a routine addition for everyone: the amount in one softgel reaches the adult daily upper limit before vitamin A from food or other supplements is counted. It contains fish-derived oil and soya oil.
Are there any side effects of taking Vitamin A 100sg?
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Tamper resistant package, do not use if outer seal is missing. Excess preformed vitamin A can accumulate and cause headache, nausea, dry skin, joint discomfort or liver problems. Excess intake during pregnancy can cause birth defects; seek medical advice before use if pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding. Retinoid medicines can increase vitamin A toxicity risk, while orlistat can reduce absorption. Review medicines and all vitamin A sources with your healthcare professional before taking this product.
How does Vitamin A 100sg support overall health?
Its vitamin A is converted into forms used for light sensing and for signals that help cells develop and function normally. These processes connect vitamin A nutrition with the eyes, immune system, skin and mucosal tissues. More vitamin A is not necessarily better, because preformed vitamin A is stored in the body.
