Vitamin A Deficiency

Lack of vitamin A in your body can cause dry hair and skin, dry eyes, poor growth, frequent colds, skin disorders, sinusitis, insomnia, fatigue, and respiratory infections.
Be careful not to go overboard when taking vitamin A because excessive amounts of vitamin A may lead to liver damage. Choose carotenoids instead of vitamin A. Also, carotenoids such as beta-carotene, are safer than vitamin A because body will convert beta-carotene to vitamin A without producing vitamin A in toxic amounts.
