🔬 The Science

Vitamin A is a nutrient your body gets from food sources, and researchers have developed ways to measure whether people are consuming enough of it. According to research in the Archives of Latin American Nutrition (2002), common dietary sources of vitamin A include milk, tomato, lettuce, margarine, and banana—though these are classified as low to moderate sources of the nutrient. #1: A dietary assessment tool called the Simplified Dietary Assessment (SDA) was created by the International Vitamin A Consultative Group to help determine whether groups of people are at risk of not getting adequate vitamin A intake (Arch Latinoam Nutr, 2002).

#2: When this assessment tool was tested on 91 pregnant women in Brazil, it found that more than 50% of the group fell into either high or moderate risk categories for vitamin A deficiency based on their food intake (Arch Latinoam Nutr, 2002). The source notes that adequate intake thresholds were based on recommendations from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the World Health Organization (1991). The researchers emphasized that while the SDA showed promise as a useful screening method, further testing with larger populations would be needed to evaluate vitamin A intake appropriately (Arch Latinoam Nutr, 2002).
