Vitamin A Helps Fight Skin Cancer

Vitamin A Helps Fight Skin Cancer - Researchers revealed that taking supplements and foods that contain vitamin A could actually reduce your risk of melanoma, a deadly form of skin cancer. This is due to retino role, an important compound in vitamin A, which is tasked with protecting the body against disease.

Previously, a study led by Dr. Maryam Asgari dermatologist has examined the risk of melanoma in more than 69 thousand men and women aged 50-76 years. The participants were also asked to take vitamin A, either through diet or supplements.

The findings, published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology found that those who regularly consumed vitamin A showed a 60 percent lower skin cancer developing. Even the risk of skin cancer can be smaller to 74 percent if the participants were taking doses of vitamin A to 1,200 mg per day.

Retinol is a class of compounds that enter the retinoids, which have been shown not only good for the immune system and vision, but also to stop and fight the division and spread of abnormal cells. "Our findings suggest that vitamin A plays a role as a chemopreventive agent to cope with melanoma," said Dr Asgari, quoted by Dailymail, Monday (5/3).
