“An estimated 250,000 – 500,000 children who are vitamin A-deficient become blind every year, and half of them die within 12 months of losing their sight.”

The condition is also a known contributor to maternal mortality and other poor outcomes of pregnancy.

It can lower the body’s ability to fight infection, therefore decreasing the likelihood of survival from a serious illness.

The greatest dietary sources of vitamin A are liver, fish eggs, and dairy products. A lot of vitamin A in the diet comes from leafy greens, orange and yellow vegetables, and certain oils.
