    Vitamin A - Vitamins and minerals

    Vitamin A, also known as retinol, has several important functions.

    These include:

    • helping your body's natural defence against illness and infection (the immune system) work properly
    • 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

    Good sources of vitamin A (retinol) include:

    • cheese
    • eggs
    • oily fish
    • fortified low-fat spreads
    • milk and yoghurt
    • liver and liver products such as liver pâté – this is a particularly rich source of vitamin A, so you may be at risk of having too much vitamin A if you have it more than once a week (if you're pregnant you should avoid eating liver or liver products)

    You can also get vitamin A by including good sources of  beta-carotene in your diet, as the body can convert this into retinol.

    The main food sources of beta-carotene are:

    • yellow, red and green (leafy) vegetables, such as spinach, carrots, sweet potatoes and red peppers
    • yellow fruit, such as mango, papaya and apricots
