Vitamin A

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble nutrient essential for many critical functions in the body. It exists in two main forms:

1. Preformed vitamin A (retinol): Found in animal products such as liver, eggs, dairy, and fish.
2. Provitamin A carotenoids (beta-carotene): Found in colorful plant foods like carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach, and mangoes. The body converts these into retinol.

2. Immune System Support

• Strengthens the body’s natural defenses.
• Helps maintain skin and mucous membranes, which serve as barriers against infection.

3. Skin and Cellular Health

• Supports healthy skin by promoting cell growth and repair.
• Often used in dermatology (e.g., retinoids) to treat acne and signs of aging.

4. Reproductive and Developmental Health

• Plays a role in reproductive processes in both men and women.
• Essential for fetal development—especially the heart, lungs, kidneys, and eyes.
