In conjunction with bodily functions, skin, vision and the immunological system of the individual requires proper nutrition. While vitamin A does need to be taken care of through diet or supplements, storing it in a body is implausible since it does not function like other supplements.

This brings up an important question: what sources and means are available in a person’s diet to adequately fulfill vitamin A’s dietary requirements?

Yet, how much is your body screaming for? And if you're not a fan of liver or greens, how does one go about them?

What is Vitamin A?

Several functions remain intertwined with vitamin A and of its derivatives like eyesight - peripheral and retina, defense mechanism of body, reproduction, growth, skin maintenance and the cherry on the cake being: one cannot produce them independently. The sole means of obtaining these nutrients is food or occasionally fine grade supplements.

Recommended Daily Intake

The amount of vitamin A you need depends on your age and life stage. Here's what the experts at the National Institutes of Health recommend each day:

GroupRecommended Daily Amount
Infants (0–12 months)400–500 mcg RAE
Children (1–13 years)300–600 mcg RAE
Teens (14–18 years)700–900 mcg RAE
Adults 700 mcg RAE (women), 900 mcg RAE (men)
Pregnant women770 mcg RAE
Breastfeeding women1,300 mcg RAE

> RAE stands for Retinol Activity Equivalents—a unit that accounts for both animal-based vitamin A and plant-based carotenoids.<
