There are 13 different types of Vitamins which include Vitamin A, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B7, Vitamin B9, Vitamin B12, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, and Vitamin K.
Vitamin A is a fat soluble vitamin that can be found in food in two forms; as retinol (animal based foods) or carotenes (plant based foods). Vitamin A is important for growth, vision, and development. Vitamin A is also important for the maintenance of bones, immune function, and reproduction.

Vitamin A can be found in meat and dairy products and in yellow or orange fruits and green leafy vegetables. Research suggests that vitamin A in fruits and vegetables may not be absorbed like the vitamin A found in animal based foods.
