Vitamin A - A Nutritional Powerhouse Most of Us Do Not Get Enough Of

Vitamin A is really an important vitamin that most of us simply do not get enough of today. Vitamin A is different than beta-carotene, and don't let anything you read convince you that they are the same! While it is true that beta-carotene can be converted to Vitamin A in the body, many of us do NOT convert it very well. So you may be eating lots of carrots and orange vegetable and fruits, and thinking you are getting plenty of Vitamin A, but that is not necessarily true.
