Vitamin A

Vitamin A is needed for the immune system, healthy skin, and for low light eyesight. Beta carotene from plant sources is also thought to work as an antioxidant. Fruit and vegetables contain beta carotene rather than vitamin A itself (that is only found in animal source foods). However, the body can make vitamin A from beta carotene.
