Overview

Literature review highlights how vitamin A deficiency leads to health risks, while excessive intake suggests toxicity issues.

Key Points

  • Vitamin A is essential for immune function and vision, with both deficiency and excess presenting health risks.
  • Deficiency can cause night blindness and immune issues, while excess can lead to liver and nervous system toxicity.
  • Assessment involved a thorough literature review across multiple databases to compile relevant data on vitamin A.
  • Educating populations on safe vitamin A intake levels is vital to reduce deficiencies and avoid toxicity risks.
