hey guys in this video I want to talk about vitamin A okay there’s some real

interesting about vitamin A it’s a fat soluble vitamin what does that mean you

have water soluble vitamins and you have fat Seibel vitamins that’s how the

vitamins have the ability to travel through fat to be stored in fat longer

it has the ability to go through cell walls because the layer around cells are

fat lipid layers or fat layers these vitamin A that side with vitamins can go

right through the cell where water soluble vitamins cannot so they can

affect the deep parts of the cell the DNA the alteration of the DNA and that’s

why vitamin A deficiencies can really affect what your skin turns into okay at

the genetic level so you can have a lot of little flaking things on your skin

little white little dots on the skin on the hair follicles you can have little

skin flakes on the scalp you can have acne different types of acne cystic acne

acne on your back it can create a lot of problems with your vision as well

because vitamin A is necessary for your eye so if you can’t see at night when

you’re driving at night use hard to see that’s a vitamin A deficiency okay also

lubrication of the eye and the mouth and anything any glandular secretion of like

if you don’t have enough of that lubrication that’s about it man a

deficiency also infections sinus infections ear infections lung

infections all can be triggered by a low vitamin A level so it has a lot to do

with your immune system so vitamin A gives support to the eye to the skin to

the immune system to the inner skin to around your inside your nasal passages

so if you have let’s say sleep apnea or anything that’s going on with the inner

skin of your throat that could be vitamin A deficiency okay

now here’s what people don’t realize vitamin A is in cod liver oil it’s in

liver it’s in butter it’s in eggs especially the yolk it’s in

cheese okay that’s the active form that vitamin A called retinol now it’s true

that kale spinach carrots sweet potatoes greens also have

vitamin A and they have a lot of vitamin A but here’s what people don’t realize

this is a pre vitamin A so anything vegetable as a pre vitamin it’s not an

active form it’s not retinol it has to be converted into an active form that

conversion only takes place at certain parts of your body and it only certain

percentages so if you’re lucky you might get between 4 to 6 present percent

conversions so if you’re consuming a hundred milligrams let’s say that

vitamin A from kale you’re only getting 4 to 6 percent of that ok so just because

you’re eating kale doesn’t mean you’re going to get enough vitamin A especially

if you’re not consuming these products so that’s just some interesting

information ok so now here’s the next question what causes a vitamin A

deficiency now it could be you’re not consuming enough of these or maybe

you’re not converting these right here but more likely you probably are

consuming enough vitamin A but the deficiency comes from the ability to

convert and that has to do with your gut if your digestive system is damaged or

you have a history of taking antibiotics we have leaky gut or some type of

digestive issue chances are you can’t convert this so everything’s going to

dry out your hair is going to dry out your skin is going to dry eyes dry so

you’ll start manifesting vitamin A deficiencies the other cause of vitamin

A deficiency is a lack of bile B I L e from the gall bladder why because the

gallbladder helps you break down fats and breaks down the fat soluble vitamins

so your body can start utilizing them so if you don’t have a gall bladder that

means you probably don’t have enough bile to absorb vitamin A you might have

to take some bile as an as a supplement ok so let’s say you get you have another

you just have a congested liver and the symptoms of that would be bloating

burping belching right shoulder pain constipation those are indications that

you don’t have enough bile okay it could be because your stomach is not acid

enough so you have heartburn well that means that that means you don’t have

enough acid because in order for you to release your

own bile you need a very strong stomach so it could be that the stomach is not

releasing the bile to help you absorb vitamin A so again I just want to give

you that background in case you’re taking vitamin A it’s not working

because you probably can’t absorb it all right so I hope that gave you some data

about vitamin A post your comments below and I’ll see in the next video hey guys
