- "What do you know about vitamin A? (Sources and benefits)"
When we consume vegetables, one of the easiest ways to find vitamin A is through them. Anyway, here are some main sources of vitamin A, and other foods too. But before that, it is important to establish some concepts:
Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin. This means that, unlike B vitamins, for example, it is not excreted through our urine, but is “stored” in our liver and adipose tissue. This leads us to be more careful due to the risk of toxicity.
Vitamin A precursors: the precursor is what can “become” an active vitamin, in this case, vitamin A.
- Retinoids: retinoids are one of the precursors of vitamin A, but from animal sources.
- Beta-carotene: Meanwhile, beta-carotene is of plant origin. It is not as efficient as retinoids, but that is why it is important to always strive to have a diverse and balanced diet.
Now when you hear people saying “beta-carotene here,” “beta-carotene there,” you will know what they mean and whether they are using this concept correctly :)
Sources of vitamin A:
- Meat
- Eggs
- Cheese
- Pepper
- Carrot
- Cucumber
- Zucchini
- Also present in fruits such as:
- Watermelon
- Açaí
- Banana.
Okay, Victoria, but why do I need vitamin A and what are the benefits?
The importance of vitamin A begins during pregnancy. For pregnant women, vitamin A is essential for the development and growth of your baby. Which will lead to the following main benefits:
- Men (sperm formation);
- Women (fetal development);
- Strengthening nails and hair
- Helps with our immunity
- Helps with eye health
Be careful: excess vitamin A can lead to the risk of osteoporosis, problems during pregnancy (it's a bit controversial, which is why it's very important to consult your doctor and other health professionals), among others.

- What do you know about vitamin A? (Fuentes y beneficios).”
When we consume vegetables, one of the easiest ways to find vitamin A is through them. In any case, here are some main sources of vitamin A, and also from other foods. But before doing so, it is important to establish some concepts:
Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin. This means that the difference between group B vitamins, for example, is not eliminated through the urine, but is "allocated" in the liver and adipose tissue. This means that you must be more careful due to the risk of toxicity.
Vitamin A precursors: the precursor is what can "convert" into an active vitamin, in this case vitamin A.
- Retinoids: retinoids are one of the precursors of vitamin A, but of animal origin.
- Beta-carotene: beta-carotene, in turn, is of vegetable origin. It is not as effective as retinoids, but for this reason it is important that we always seek to have a diverse and balanced diet.
Now, when you hear people say "beta-carotene here", "beta-carotene there", you will know what they are referring to and if you are using the concept correctly :)
