What are some good sources of vitamin A?

Question

I just learned in my nutrition class that vitamin A can improve your vision if you get a good supply of it, and it seems like vitamin A is the only vitamin I'm not getting enough of and I have really bad vision

Answer 1

Vitamin A is found naturally in many foods. Each of the following contains at least 0.15 mg (which is equal to 150 micrograms -500 IU). See Recommended Daily Intake.) of Vitamin A or beta carotene per 1.75-7 oz. (50-200 g):

liver (beef, pork, chicken, turkey, fish) (6500 μg 722%)
carrots (835 μg 93%)
Broccoli leaves (800 μg 89%) - broccoli florets have much less- see below

kale (681 μg 76%)
butter (684 μg 76%)

Answer 2

Vitamin A is also known as retinol. Good sources of vitamin A include cheese, eggs, oily fish (such as mackerel), milk, fortified margarine and yoghurt.

Liver is also a rich source of vitamin A. But, because it's such a rich source, if you already eat it every week, you might want to choose not to have it more often.
