in strict vegans and those with the absence of intrinsic factor
needed for the absorption.
Vitamin A (retinol, beta-carotene) function: - Answer: contributes to vision health, tissue strength and
growth, and embryonic development.
Vitamin A - Answer: Care should be taken when administered to pregnant clients as some forms have
