Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that exists in two forms: retinoids (retinol) and beta-carotene (provitamin A).
Retinol is found in foods of animal origin, and beta-carotene in colorful fruits and vegetables.
The body can use retinol directly, but provitamin A must first be converted to retinol before it can be used.
Vitamin A in its retinol form is found in cheese, eggs, fish oil, dairy products, and liver.
