Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin crucial for vision, immune function, and growth, existing in various forms such as retinol and β-carotene. It is absorbed with dietary fat, stored in the liver, and plays significant roles in the visual cycle, gene regulation, and maintaining epithelial integrity. Deficiency can lead to serious health issues, while excess intake may cause toxicity, particularly in high-risk groups like children and pregnant women.
