What are some Foods High in Vitamin A?
Answer:
Considered essential for life, Vitamin A is
available in a wide range of foods of both animal and plant origin, and you can find it easily in common foods.

I’ve found Vitamin A in natural animal sources such as beef, beef, pork, chicken, turkey and fish liver, eggs, butter, whole milk, mozzarella and cheddar cheese and use several sources routinely. Egg substitutes are also on this list.

Plant sources are not always standard daily fare, but  do offer a variety of fruits and vegetables for a change of pace.

Plant sources include:

    * sweet potatoes
    * carrots
    * beetroot
    * broccoli
    * spinach
    * winter squash
    * kale
    * peas
    * sweet red peppers
    * oatmeal
    * tomato juice
    * apricots, fresh and dried
    * peaches
    * apples
    * lemons

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that’s stored in the liver and is essential for growth and repair of body tissues. Some sources say the vitamin may also act as an antioxidant.

Word to the wise: Coffee lovers, those with a taste for alcoholic beverages or people having excessive iron in their systems may face a loss of Vitamin A. On the other hand, too much Vitamin A from animal sources or supplements may be toxic.

A Canadian company, Naturally Nova Scotia, makes supplements from foods instead of synthetics. They have vitamin C from fruit, herbal tinctures, green drinks, vitamin D3, and others.
