The most common of the latter is beta-carotene which is also very popular and important. Find in in bright orange fruit like cantaloupe, apricots, carrots, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, dark leafy vegetables and so on.<\/p>\n<p>Vitamin A comes with numerous health benefits. Starting with retinol, it can create pigments in retina and it\u2019s crucial for good vision. It can help form a better night vision and it\u2019s necessary for overall vision.<\/p>\n<p>Another function of vitamin A is in helping skin repair.
