Vitamin A
– important for normal vision, the immune system, and reproduction
– comes from eggs, meat, fortified milk, cheese, cream, liver, kidney, cod, and halibut fish oil
– foods rich in beta-carotene and other carotenoids include: Apricots, asparagus, beets, broccoli, cantaloupe, carrots, corn, guava, kale, mangoes, mustard and collard greens, nectarines, peaches, pink grapefruit, pumpkin, squash (yellow and winter), sweet potato, tangerines, tomatoes, and watermelon
The best source of vitamin A is cod liver oil. But if you’re taking a high dose of vitamin D due to very low levels (such as 5-10,000 IUs or more) take your dose of A in the morning and D in the evening (or the other way around) as vitamin D can reduce the absorption of vitamin A.
