- Growth and development: Vitamin A helps form and maintain healthy skin, teeth, bones, and soft tissue. It's also important for the development of the heart and lungs.
- Immune system: Vitamin A plays a role in the immune system.
- Reproduction: Vitamin A is important for healthy pregnancy and breastfeeding.
