What You Should Know About Vitamin A

Vitamin A is a fat soluble vitamin meaning that vitamin A
requires fats as well as minerals to be properly digested.

Vitamin A can be stored in your body and vitamin A does
not need to be replenished every day. Vitamin A occurs in 
two forms - preformed vitamin A called retinol and provitamin A
known as carotene.

Beta carotene is a water soluble precursor to active vitamin A.
In this form it can be used in large doses and not have the
complication of building vitamin A toxicity in the body.

Nutrients that will prevent vitamin A absorption include:
alcohol, coffee, cortisone, excessive iron, mineral oil, lack
of vitamin D, strong light, air and chemical pollutants.

Vitamin A is needed by the liver, eyes, skin, lungs, pancreas, and
blood.

Sources of vitamin A

Foods rich in vitamin A include: carrot juice, cucumber juice,
sweet potatoes, and yellow squash, liver, fish liver oil, egg yolk,
raw milk, and butter.
