Vitamin A, also known as retinol, plays several essential roles in the body.
These include:
- Supporting the immune system to help protect against illness and infection.

Good Sources of Vitamin A
You can obtain vitamin A (retinol) from a variety of foods, including:
- Cheese
- Eggs
- Oily fish
- Fortified low-fat spreads
- Milk and yogurt
- Liver and liver products (such as liver pâté) – Liver is particularly rich in vitamin A, so consuming it more than once a week can increase the risk of getting too much. (Pregnant women should avoid liver and liver products.)
In addition to retinol, you can also get vitamin A from foods that contain beta-carotene, which the body can convert into retinol.
The main food sources of beta-carotene include:
- Yellow, red, and green (leafy) vegetables like spinach, carrots, sweet potatoes, and red peppers
- Yellow fruits such as mango, papaya, and apricots
