Vitamin A as a so-called vitamin serves as an antioxidant and is an essential nutrient for the eyes and helps prevent macular degeneration and many other ocular complaints.
Antioxidant. noun. A substance that inhibits oxidation, esp. one used to counteract the deterioration of stored food products. • a substance such as vitamin C or E that removes potentially damaging oxidizing agents in a living organism.
It is also important for new cell growth and helps to retard premature aging due to degeneration of lifestyle and diet.
Vitamin A helps prevent night blindness, to fortify the immune "defense" system (located at the thymus gland), aids in the storage of fat, protects the skin and mucous membranes by maintaining and repairing epithelial tissue; helps in the formation and protection of the teeth and bones (skeletal system), helps to protect the cells against cancer (cellular degeneration) and other degenerative diseases.
A deficiency in this vitamin may lead to adverse health conditions such as:
Eye problems
Skin disorders
Lowered immunity
Bone and teeth problems
Dry hair
Poor growth
Fatigue
Insomnia
Common cold (chronic cases)
Respiratory complaints
Abnormal weight loss
Reproductive problems
As an antioxidant, Vitamin A protects against environmental pollution and the formation of cancer (cellular degeneration). This makes Vitamin A very invaluable pertaining to human health, especially the health of people who live in the Western world in general, the United States in particular.
There is some concern amongst certain people that a vegan and raw foods diet will not provide adequate amounts of Vitamin A and this is highly erroneous as Nature provides the human body with everything it needs and requires to maintain and sustain health. If we need it, Nature provides it. Believe that!
Here is some helpful information that you may not know about that can help you acquire Vitamin A from natural sources (plant sources). In Nature, everything has a color and color serves as a sign - a sign of nutritional and therapeutic value and benefit and if you learn the connection between plants (fruits and vegetables) and various colors, you'll never lack in nutrients that many people are overly concerned about not getting enough of.
You have to remember that in the Matrix, lack consciousness is the order of the day. We always have to be lacking something in order to be sold something by man. This is just how it goes in the Matrix. The Matrix greatly promotes fear and lack is associated with fear in many ways and respects. Many people fear not having enough of certain things, be it love, money, attention, weight (body weight, fat), ass or rear end (concern of females), and even nutrients.
Here in the Matrix, if you're lacking in something and Nature allegedly doesn't produce it, nothing to worry about! Western man has the solution, well, if you've got the money.
Man will make what the body needs and may be lacking and he will usually do so with inorganic substances, manipulating molecules and/or molecular structure of things, and thus creating more adverse problems than originally started out with. Man usually makes things worse when attempting to correct and/or improve upon Nature (or God) which is grand folly at best as Nature needs no help from man and never did.
In Nature, we are given a hint at what contains Vitamin A by the color orange. Anything produced in Nature that has the color orange (primarily) as well as red and yellow (secondarily) will provide the human body with Vitamin A.
Foods that are orange contain beta-carotene, a carotenoid, which is a precursor to Vitamin A and once inside the body - digested, absorbed, and assimilated by the body, will be converted into Vitamin A by the alchemical processes of the liver, an organ that magically performs over 500 different functions.
Beta-carotene. noun. An orange or red plant pigment found in carrots and many other plant structures. It is a terpenoid hydrocarbon with several isomers, of which one (beta carotene) is important in the diet as a precursor of vitamin A. ORIGIN mid 19th cent.: coined in German from Latin 'carota' (see carrot ). 
Carotenoid. Noun. Any of a class of mainly yellow, orange, or red fat-soluble pigments, including carotene, which give color to plant parts such as ripe tomatoes and autumn leaves. They are terpenoids based on a structure having the formula C 40 H 56.
Our internal organs are also alchemists and alchemical in Nature pursuant to body intelligence predicated upon divine programming. Our bodies have the ability to produce anything we need for purposes of health regardless if certain people believe that the human body cannot produce certain elements and substances.
The human endocrine system is a magical alchemical factory and just how an alchemist can change base metals into gold, our body via its organs can do likewise, taking certain minerals, vitamins, and trace elements that the body may already possess and converting them into the minerals, vitamins, and trace elements that may be lacking. This alchemical process is accelerated and effectuated when the person is conscious of his or her divine magical alchemical abilities and knows how to use the powers of the mind to facilitate such magical alchemical process.
There are many people and businesses who do not want you to know this science and information so that you can remain ignorant and thus dependent upon them so they can make a profit from selling you their bogus product.
Orange-colored foods contain beta-carotene and possess antioxidant qualities. If a food is orange (or red, purple, or yellow), it will provide the body with antioxidants. Antioxidants are the same colors as the seven chakras, so learn the colors of your body's chakras.
So now, when you look at pumpkin, orange squash, sweet potatoes, yams, apricots, loquats, an orange, peaches, nectarines, carrots, or any other orange-colored food, you know these foods will provide Vitamin A and help keep the immune system strong and protect against cancer, our nation's #2 killer (when iatrogenics is not considered).
Iatrogenics. noun. Doctor or physician-induced death by unnecessary performance of surgery and/or prescription of drugs.
Your body is alchemical and knowing this should diminish any worry pertaining to nutritional deficiency. Give the body what it needs (food) and it has the necessary tools to work its alchemical magic on your behalf. You must supply the tools (nutrients) though. There is no conversion of gold by the alchemist absent base metals. You must have something to start with.
If you eat a diet consistent with the colors of the seven major human energy centers (chakras) you are providing your body with the necessary essential nutrients it needs to maintain and sustain optimal health and wellbeing, to cause growth, and to repair itself on all levels.
Foods that are the color of the chakras help to balance the chakras and nourish the corresponding organs of the chakras. The seven major chakras or energy centers correspond with the seven major organs of the human endocrine system which are the adrenal glands, gonads, pancreas, thymus gland, thyroid gland, pituitary gland and pineal gland.
Since the 2nd chakra is orange, orange colored foods stimulate, balance, and heal this chakra which is the seat of emotions, sexuality, pleasure, lower creativity, Goddess consciousness, and material consciousness.
In females, the 2nd chakra is located at the site of the womb (uterus) and correlating reproductive organs. Thus, orange-colored foods will nourish the female reproductive glands and in males will nourish the intestinal tract (small and large colon), as the male possess his reproductive organ and glands at the site of the 1st or Root chakra.
Do not be misled into thinking that Nature does not provide Vitamin A or any other nutrient via the plant kingdom. This is major propaganda to push you into the direction of purchasing products that fuel and drive certain industries, like the fish waste product industry.
Many advocate animal sources for Vitamin A such as fish oil but remember, fish oil is derived from the liver of the creature and the liver is the most toxic organ of the body of any creature. Just as you would not drink the dirty oil from your car's oil filter, you'd be wise to not consume the oil from a fish's filter (liver) or any other animal's filter. 
If you (and I) were meant to derive Vitamin A from fish oil, you would be able to bite into and eat a whole fish raw in order to obtain its fish oil from the fish's liver but humans cannot digest fish scales. This is why man who desires to be a carnivore always de-scale fish before cooking it. No true carnivore de-scales and/or cooks its flesh (food) before devouring it. These are not natural functions of true carnivores and you will never see this in Nature from wild animals (savages).
There are no acids or enzymes in the human body that can break down scales. This should be common sense, but unfortunately, common sense is not so common today in our world.
Fish oil is a byproduct of the fish industry. Commercial industries do not believe in wasting anything these days and have cleverly found a way to sell its waste product instead of having to spend a fortune in disposing of them, and the trip thing is, these industries sell their waste under the banner of health, i.e. health products, which really ensure they will be purchased by well-meaning people seeking to improve their health.
There are a lot of fraudulent and profit-driven people and businesses on the scene in the Matrix making much money off of the confusion many people have in the quest and desire to improve their health and be healthy. However, the Universe has sent a reputable business "Dherbs.com" that shines the light of truth (via promotion of common sense, intuition, consciousness, logic, etc.) in the midst of such grand and profound darkness.
Do not let the falsehood of lack of certain nutrients in Nature via natural foods deter you from improving your health and adopting a raw foods, vegan, and/or macrobiotic diet.
Also, we do not have to kill innocent animals to provide nutrients that we are brainwashed to believe only occur in animals (animal flesh). We must remember that the land animals we have been conditioned to eat, i.e. pig, deer, sheep, cow, chicken, buffalo, etc. are all herbivores (plant-eaters) and derive their nutrients (including protein) from plants, so it makes no sense to kill innocent animals in order to derive the same nutrients secondhand when you can derive them firsthand and not have to harm another sentient being.
Nature is abundant in Vitamin A. Natural plant sources of Vitamin A (direct source) include Indian Gooseberry (Amalaki), Alfalfa, Eyebright, Bilberry, Dandelion, Goldenseal, Elderberry, Suma, and Ginseng.
Dherbs.com's " Vitamin A Formula" is an-all natural herbal formulation consisting of the herbs supra and thus 100% organic and assimilable.
A good conscious mental exercise that I teach my so-called clients is that when you eat, be conscious of the color of the foods you are eating as this helps you to be mindful of the nutrients you are feeding your body and the energy center being affected.
When you eat orange-colored foods, be conscious of the fact that you are feeding your body Vitamin A (by way of beta carotene) and balancing the 2nd or Sacral chakra. This conscious exercise alone will help you to better digest your food and for the nutrients in the food to be assimilated into your body (cells).
Orange = Vitamin A by way of beta-carotene processed by the liver!
