Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that occurs in nature in two forms: preformed vitamin A which is only found in certain tissues of animals, mainly the liver, and beta-carotene.  This preformed vitamin A is metabolized by animals from carotene (pro-vitamin A) in their food.

Vitamin A helps build resistance to infection and supports the integrity of the mucous membranes of the respiratory, urinary and digestive tracts. Vitamin A is also essential for the normal growth of strong bones and teeth in children and is necessary for fertility in both men and women.

It must be underst00d that many of the foods we eat each day contain vitamin A, and providing we eat sensibly, these foods are very safe.

Expectant mothers however should not eat large quantities of vitamin A rich foods, foods contributing more than 25,000 IU of vitamin A to the daily diet.
