Vitamin A is necessary for growth,
immunity, steroid production, sperm production in males, prevention of spontaneous abortion in females, and proper prenatal development.45 Vitamin A appears to aid in the utilization of dietary protein, and, even though androgens are used as promoters of prostate cancer, vitamin A both boosts androgen production and powerfully inhibits prostate cancer.48 Vitamin A-rich foods like raw liver juice have been successfully used to treat cancer, 49 and concentrated doses of naturally occurring all - trans retinoic acid, the active hormone form of vitamin A, are currently used as a highly successful treatment for leukemia.50 Vitamin A appears to protect
against and be depleted in inflammatory conditions.51 Vitamin A also protects
against environmental toxins, and protects
against free radical damage: cod liver oil, in fact, because of its vitamin A content, is the only source of essential fatty acids that can lower
levels of harmful, free - radical lipid peroxides, while all other sources of essential fatty acids raise lipid peroxides.45
-- A Titre Test measures your dog's

This enables the horse to have a high
level of
immunity against that disease when he or she encounters it in the wild, thus preventing the horse from suffering a painful or potentially deadly infection.
