Nutrients in Avocado

Healthy avocados can act as a “nutrient booster” by helping increase the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients like vitamin A. This is why an increased absorption of these nutrients matters. Because alpha- and beta-carotene can form Vitamin A in the body, which is important for proper growth and reproduction as well as good eyesight. Vitamin A is involved in immune functions, vision, and cellular function. Vitamin A also supports cellular growth and differentiation, playing a critical role in the normal formation and maintenance of the heart, lungs, kidneys, and other organs. With nearly 20 vitamins, minerals & phytonutrients per 50g serving, avocados are an excellent nutrient choice.
