Vitamin A (Retinol)
• Is helping your body's natural defence against illness and infection (the immune system)
• helping vision in dim light
• keeping skin and the lining of some parts of the body, such as the nose, healthy
Good sources of vitamin A (eggs, cheese, fish, milk, yoghurt, liver, cod liver oil..)
You can also get vitamin A by including good sources of beta-carotene (spinach, carrots, sweet potatoes and red peppers, mango, apricots...)in your diet, as the body can convert this into retinol.
Many multivitamins contain vitamin A. Other supplements, such as fish liver oil, are also high in vitamin A.
If you eat liver every week, do not take supplements that contain vitamin A.
