Vitamin A is a micronutrient whose most visible benefit is concentrated in the skin. We know it by many names, including retinoic acid, retinol, antixerophthalmic vitamin, biosterol and beta-carotene. It is a fat-soluble vitamin that the body obtains through diet.
There are two types of vitamin A: preformed, which is found in meat, fish and milk products, and provitamin A, which is found in plants such as fruit, vegetables and other greens.
For example, the best-known type of provitamin A is beta-carotene, which is found in carrots.
