Vitamin A

Vitamin A is an antioxidant vitamin. It maintains normal vision, helps regulate the immune system and fight infections, and is essential to bone growth, reproduction, and normal functioning of every cell in your body. The antioxidant property of vitamin A can possibly protect against damage from free radicals, which leads to premature aging, heart disease, and cancer. Vitamin A from animal sources, like milk, eggs and calf’s liver, are well absorbed and used more efficiently by your body.
