most noticeable. Vitamin A also plays a vital role in bone
growth, reproduction, cell division, and cell
differentiation (in which a cell is given the properties of
what it will become).
Vitamin A
helps protect against disease by regulating the immune
system, which helps prevent or fight off infections.
Vitamin A assist in making white blood cells that destroy
harmful bacteria and viruses. Vitamin A also may help
lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell, fight infections
more effectively.
Vitamin A promotes healthy surface linings of the eyes and
the respiratory, urinary, and intestinal tracts. When those
linings break down, it becomes easier for bacteria to enter
the body and cause infection. Vitamin A is also helpful in
maintaining healthy hair and skin and has also been linked
to decreased risk of breast, lung and skin cancer.

which are potentially damaging by-products of oxygen
metabolism that may contribute to the development of some
chronic diseases.
