- Supports a healthy immune system<\/a>. Along with Vitamin D<\/a>, Vitamin A plays a key role in keeping your defenses strong so you can fight whatever comes your way. Vitamin A is also involved in the production of white blood cells<\/a> for ongoing good health.<\/li>
- Keeps skin glowing. You\u2019ve likely heard of retinoids. Topically retinoids help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, ease roughness and soften sun damage.<\/li>

Foods with Vitamin A<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Beef liver is one of the richest sources of Vitamin A. Other sources include cod liver oil, herring, carrots, black eyed peas, broccoli, sweet potatoes, tomato juice, and dried apricots to name a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is Recommended Daily Amount of Vitamin A?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In general, the recommended daily amount is 900 mcg. for males and 700 mcg. for females. But be sure to speak with your healthcare practitioner first as it is possible to get too much Vitamin A if supplementing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Too Much Vitamin A<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\nToo much of a good thing can be not-so-good. Since Vitamin A is fat soluble, it gets stored in your body. Consuming too much preformed Vitamin A can lead to nausea, blurred vision, headaches and dizziness. Provitamin A from plants doesn\u2019t have the same risks, but always proceed with caution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The best way to make sure you\u2019re getting the right amount of Vitamins<\/a> is to consume Vitamin A-rich foods as part of your everyday diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
