Vitamin A
One
of the most popular vitamins, A was
the first fat-soluble vitamin to be discovered. The body acquires some of its vitamins A
and C through animal
fats and beta-carotene and other carotenoids abundant in many fruits and vegetables.
Vitamin A commonly taken as a dietary health supplement
to help promote healthy eyesight and to help us to
resist infection. Vitamins boost immunity by enhancing the infection-fighting actions of the white blood cells called lymphocytes.
They are also vital to the growth of bones, skin and hair.

The RDA for vitamins A is 5,000 IU daily for men, and 4,000 IU daily for women.
Taking excessive amounts of vitamin A can cause serious health problems.
In terms of vitamin A in foods, the body makes only what it needs from
carotene rich fruits and vegetables. However with
certain 'preformed' vitamin supplements which have been
synthesized, it can be possible to take too much. It is
also wise not to take it in supplement form alongside
isotretinoin or other acne drugs, which may cause high blood levels of vitamin
A and negative side effects.
