Vitamin A is central to vision chemistry, immune signaling, and healthy epithelial tissues from the skin to the respiratory tract. This article walks through the featured ingredients in CHF #36 Vitamin A+ 120 Capsules—Country Health’s high-potency vitamin A formula with zinc and botanicals—and what NIH ODS and NCCIH sources report about these ingredients.
Full ingredient list (per 1-capsule serving): Vitamin A (as palmitate and beta carotene) 8,000 mcg RAE; zinc (as gluconate) 2.5 mg; proprietary blend 380 mg of dandelion root, echinacea purpurea root, eyebright aerial parts, fenugreek seed, hyssop aerial parts, and a trace mineral blend. Other ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, silica, gelatin (capsule). Suggested use: one capsule daily, or as directed. Supplied: 120 capsules.
NIH ODS explains that vitamin A supports immune function, cellular communication, growth, reproduction, and vision as a component of rhodopsin—the light-sensitive protein in the retina. It also helps maintain the conjunctiva and cornea. CHF #36 delivers 8,000 mcg RAE from a mix of retinyl palmitate and beta carotene, giving both preformed vitamin A and a provitamin A carotenoid the body can convert as needed. Adults who want a dedicated Country Health vitamin A capsule often choose this formula when dietary intake from liver, dairy, orange vegetables, and leafy greens needs a reliable supplement boost.
Zinc appears at 2.5 mg as zinc gluconate—about 23% of the Daily Value. NIH ODS notes that zinc is required for hundreds of enzymes, immune function, protein and DNA synthesis, wound healing, and the sense of taste, and that it supports healthy growth. Pairing a modest zinc amount with a high-potency vitamin A serving reflects common nutritional practice: these two nutrients often work in related tissue and immune pathways.
The 380 mg proprietary blend brings dandelion root, Echinacea purpurea root, eyebright aerial parts, fenugreek seed, hyssop, and trace minerals. NCCIH reports that echinacea may slightly reduce the chance of catching a cold and has a long traditional use for respiratory wellness. Eyebright and the companion herbs round out Country Health’s classic “Vitamin A+” botanical style rather than acting as separate high-dose single-herb capsules.
Because vitamin A is fat-soluble, many adults take CHF #36 with a meal that includes some healthy fat so absorption stays comfortable. Country Health’s mix of palmitate and beta carotene also means the serving is not “beta carotene only,” which matters for readers comparing labels across brands. The eyebright–echinacea–dandelion companions keep the capsule aligned with Country Health’s traditional botanical style while the labeled vitamin A and zinc amounts remain the clear nutritional anchors.
CHF #36 centers a full 8,000 mcg RAE of vitamin A with supportive zinc and a 380 mg eye- and immune-minded herbal blend in one daily capsule. The 120-capsule bottle is designed for adults seeking Country Health’s concentrated vitamin A formula.
Who might enjoy it: adults whose clinician agrees a high-potency vitamin A capsule fits their diet and lab picture; people who want palmitate plus beta carotene rather than beta carotene alone; and anyone looking for Country Health’s Vitamin A+ blend with eyebright and echinacea companions.
Please check with your clinician first if you:
