The Role of vitamin A and where to find it

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin, important for normal growth, healthy skin and eyes, immunity, and tissue and bone repair. 1

Vitamin A can be found in two categories of food sources: animal sources such as dairy, fish, and meat; and plant sources such as green leafy vegetables, carrots, sweet potatoes, and mangoes.2
