Abstract

Vitamin A Vitamin A is essential for healthy mucous membranes which line all the body's internal tracts, such as the digestive, urinary and respiratory systems. Vitamin A is required for vision in dim light and it is essential in order that the delicate linings of the eye lids and the coverings of the eye ball stay healthy. Vitamin A also appears to be needed for a healthy outer skin.
