What do you know about Vitamin A? 👀🥕🥚

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin, which means our bodies store it for later use. Because of this, both low and high levels can cause health problems — balance is important!

Vitamin A comes in two main forms:
✨ Preformed Vitamin A — found in animal-based foods like eggs, dairy, fish, and liver
✨ Provitamin A carotenoids — found in colorful fruits and vegetables like carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach, and peppers, which our bodies convert into Vitamin A in the gut

Vitamin A plays an important role in:
👁️ Healthy vision
🛡️ Immune system support
🌱 Growth and development
❤️ Skin and tissue health

Eating a balanced diet rich in whole foods is one of the best ways to maintain healthy vitamin levels.

💊 Vitamins 101: What You Need to Know

Most of us take vitamin supplements, but do you know the basics? Here’s a quick guide:

🌿 Vitamins are organic micronutrients – they come from plants and animals and play a vital role in keeping your body healthy.

💧 Water-Soluble Vitamins – dissolve in water and aren’t stored in your body. That means you need a steady intake every day! Think vitamin C and the B vitamins.

🥑 Fat-Soluble Vitamins – need dietary fat to be absorbed and are stored in your body fat. You don’t need these as often. Examples include vitamins A, D, E, and K.

✅ Not sure what you really need? Better Health Family Medicine can help you figure out the right vitamins for your health and lifestyle.
