Vitamin A, also retinal is popularly known and used to keep skin healthy, and claims of it in beauty product is a commonplace thing. Besides, helping to keep your system free from toxins, which otherwise cause damage to your skin, a derivative of Vitamin A — retinoic acid — is found to be capable of fighting some serious and painful diseases like autoimmune, colitis or rheumatoid arthritis. So, while improving night vision, you can well keep those inflammatory risks at bay using the same vitamin dosage. What is needed is manipulation of the amount of the retinoic acid. In a prepared statement, research leader Hilde Cheroutre said, We found that you can control inflammation in a living animal with retinoic acid or you can treat cells with retinoic acid in a test tube and transfer them to the organism to suppress inflammation. Though such results are seen only in mice, the effects of it are yet to be seen in humans. And, once successful, it may lead to, not just new treatments for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, but also help prevent the immune system from attacking tissue grafts. Ah! So, now you can keep those inflamatory diseases at bay, while boosting your skin’s health and your beauty. Image
