Vitamin A has long been linked to Eye Health, this is because the active form of vitamin A is called retinal, and is used in the retina (the back of our eye) for both low light, and colour vision. Along with vision health, Vitamin A also supports the immune and reproductive systems. This is because the other nutritional compounds include several provitamin A carotenoids most popular being beta-carotene. Vitamin A deficiency often initially presents with poor night vision or night blindness as one of the first symptoms. As deficiency progresses, colour vision may suffer as well. Vitamin A supplements can be consumed in the form of capsules, softgels, liquids and tablets. Some natural sources of Vitamin A include liver and dairy products as well as orange and green fruits and vegetables.
