Vitamin A

Vitamin A (retinol) is THE MOST IMPORTANT supplement for the Skin and Glands. Vitamin A has an amazing health promoting effect on the Hair, Skin, Glands, and Nails. Vitamin A makes the skin and glands more normal; meaning if the skin and glands are too slow the Vitamin A will increase their function and if the skin and glands are too fast the Vitamin A will slow them down. 

In dogs, retinol therapy may be used to treat skin conditions such as dry skin, dermatitis, and hair loss. It can also help improve the condition of the skin and coat, and may aid in wound healing.
