Good Sources Of Vitamin A

Vitamin A, also known as retinol, plays several crucial roles in the body, including:

  • Supporting the immune system to defend against illness and infection.
  • Aiding vision, particularly in low-light conditions.
  • Maintaining healthy skin and the lining of various body parts, such as the nose.
Good Sources of Vitamin A

Vitamin A (retinol) can be found in various foods, including:

  • Cheese
  • Eggs
  • Oily fish
  • Fortified low-fat spreads
  • Milk and yogurt
  • Liver and liver products (like liver pâté) – Liver is especially rich in vitamin A, so eating it more than once a week may increase the risk of excessive intake. (Pregnant women should avoid liver and liver products.)

In addition to retinol, vitamin A can also be sourced from foods containing beta-carotene, which the body can convert into retinol.

Main sources of beta-carotene include:

  • Yellow, red, and green (leafy) vegetables like spinach, carrots, sweet potatoes, and red peppers.
  • Yellow fruits such as mango, papaya, and apricots.
