Best FOOD Sources of VITAMIN A - 2024
Ғылым және технология
Vitamin A is vital for 100's reactions in the human body, but there seems to be some confusion about which foods actually contain Vitamin A. To be clear, there is NO Vitamin A in sweet potatoes, squash, pumpkin, spinach, or fortified breakfast cereals. You will find this misleading information all over the internet.
So, there must be secret sources of vitamin A, and I will list 5 great ones in this video. Eating one food from my list each day will give you all the Real Vitamin A your body and brain needs for optimal function. Learn for yourself, and share with those you care about.

Interesting story, I hated liver as a child and was forced to eat it because I was anemic. I swore I’d never eat it as an adult. I became pregnant at the age of 20. What did I crave? Liver! I ate beef liver, sautéed chicken livers … I ate it several times a month throughout my pregnancy. I gave birth to a healthy baby boy who’s now 37, and a smart and healthy man. 😊

I believe we “know” what we need. If we listened more to our own body we would be fine. If I eat eggs, then I’m probably not going to want them the next day and the same with anything rich. The only thing we seem to be able to keep on eating over and over more and more till it kills us is carbohydrate.
My options eggs, butter, salmon
Finally hearing more about this publicly! It is frustrating to see the plant foods advertised that they are high in vitamin A.
Hunting and fishing family here....we eat the whole animal. Was taught at a very young age not to waste any part of it. My grandfather said that animal gave its life so you can live, respect the animals. My grandmother also tanned the hides from big game. Sadly that part of our tradition was never passed down.
Yup, we eat all those things! Had 2 feeds of turkey liver this week. Also make our own liver pate. Thanks for all your info Dr. Ken. 2 huge fans way up here in northern Ontario Canada😊❤️
I listen to you every day. Thanks so very much for sharing Dr Ken. God bless you all 💖 from texas
Thank you, Dr. Berry! Haven’t tried liverwurst but, I love all the rest. Will be trying liverwurst and maybe liver sausage. Thank you for all you do!
Yumz, to all of your suggestions. Thank you for sharing this important information with us all. Take care, stay safe, & be well. 😷❤🙂🐶
After waiting several videos I could say that I finally found my doctor. Thanks for your researching and links!
Awesome video 😍 liver, eggs, and butter are my favorites 🙏 thank you
I love your videos. Thanks for the excellent info.
Thank you for clearing this up. I was very confused on the topic.
Fantastic video...THUMBS UP!!!! I had my gall bladder removed forty nine years ago, and I have had issues that were missed by doctors. I have researched, and discovered the gut, brain connection, and the vagus nerve as well. These played a big part in the mystery, and my road to freedom seems to be vitamin A, and, bile salts, and/ or, a digestive enzyme routine. I am getting to the end of my confusion, and frustration. I need to make sure that my HBP meds won't be adversely affected, and then I can move toward the solutions to these issues. Thank you for the clarification regarding vitamin A. I too, was sure it was not fat soluble. How do these confusing statements get published? I am positive I read that somewhere, so I disregarded vitamin A completely. You are such a relief to so many!
Excellent information, thank you so much 😊
This is my kind of diet. I guess my farm raising and being a lifelong hunter and fisherman paid off. I love all liver, venison liver (fresh), pork liver, turkey liver, chicken livers, calf liver and also liver pudding (livermush) and liverwurst. Also love trout and salmon.

I swear there are no coincidences in life. I found this vid this morning and I have had some of these symptoms and went to the dermatologist and he have me a great creme for my itchy exema but I also have dry itchy eyes. Coincidentally, I have recently subscribed to a wild seafood company in Alaska and we have salmon and cod about 3 times a week. My dry scalp and itchy skin have gotten better and I haven’t connected the two things together. I also use good Irish butter so I’m on the right tract, I just need more of it. Now to find good liver . . . I also eat sardines but not on a regular basis. Deviled eggs are regularly on our menu. Thank you, thank you, this was so informative.
Except for the fish, I love all the sources of vitamin A. I've always eaten lots of beef liver, lamb's liver, butter, and eggs. My mother used to make us liver sausage sandwiches when I was a kid. Now I just slather it on celery or just eat it right out of the container. I still haven't QUITE switched over to carnivore, but I'm working on it. Love your channel. I've shared your words with my husband who has only recently started a keto way of life, and it's because of both you and Dr Berg
Thank you so much dr.. God bless you! 🙏🏼

Beef liver, mackerel, sardines :). Thank you Doc!
Thank You, Dr. Berry!! I love chicken livers, liverwurst & eggs! Got this covered!
When we were kids my grandmother would get the liver of a freshly slaughtered chicken(she was a farmer woman),throw it directly on the hot metal woodstove, bake it, sprinkle it with salt and separate it in a few parts and give it to us children Since child I love eating chicken organ meats Today I buy loads of chicken liver and giblets Even had today the best and cheapest food ever here in Canada, not many people like it so it is dirt cheap and absolutely healthiest thing ever.

My mother was a single mom with 5 kids. You know what: I never went hungry! We ate the cheap meats; bacon bones, soup from chicken frames, liver, kidney (I could never eat tripe), gristly (or is that grisly?) steak cuts.
I eat all the sources you gave. I especially love chicken liver and liverwurst. I usually have 2 eggs, over easy, fried in Kerrygold butter. We’ll have sardines or canned salmon a few times a week. Thanks for all you do and sharing so much good information to keep us healthy!

Excellent.
Cod liver is quite tasty, it surprised me, not bitter at all. Comes in a can, usually sourced from Iceland. If you can’t handle cod liver oil, Carlson has one that’s lemon flavour, huge difference! First time I tried it I was so scared thought I might get sick or choke, just the thoughts, but it tastes so good I don’t even have to drink water afterwards. They won an award for it, comes in a green glass bottle.

Thank you for sharing the truth! There's SO much misinformation from all of the big food companies about nutrition. I can't do liver at all!! It makes me gag!! But I love butter, salmon, sardines, cod, and eggs (especially hard boiled)!
So are deviled eggs good for you. I just had 6 lol. Love them.
You are the best!!
Eggs, yum. Butter yum. I'm too old to grow up and eat liver😁🤣😁
Happy to hear that egg yolks are on the list...Even if I don't manage to eat enough eggs, I can get egg yolks in Haagen Dazs vanilla ice cream. I think there are egg yolks in their coffee ice cream too...I'm gonna google to see, because now that I'm thinking of it, I want some. The only other food on the list that I would eat is the grass fed butter.
Love them all!!
Nice!!
Just ate pork liver for our Dinner and scrambled egg this morning. Thanks Dr. Berry
I'm currently trying to learn to like liver. I've always hated it. But growing up my mom fed us liverwurst and braunschweiger. And I loved those!
I’m currently going through painful dry eyes. Began a year ago when I noticed a stickiness to my eyes upon waking up. Now it’s so painful and using drops throughout the day, I went to a functional medicine doctor for blood work to see if I’m vitamin A deficient. Still waiting on results but this list is perfect, thank you.

Liver...When I fixed it for dinner, it touched my salad, and now I like it with French dressing, but doesn't it raise cholesterol? Egg yolks are good with sprouted bread toast, slathered with butter. I love everything from the ocean. When I have get togethers, and I make a braunschweiger ball, ice it with whipped cream cheese, and cover it with sliced green olives with pimento. MEN LOVE IT! Thanks so much for the vitamin A tip. I was always afraid I might overdose. My doctor thinks I read too much. LOL

Dr. Berry, we LOVE you. The keto foods you recommend are basically ALL the ones we ate growing up in the 50s & 60s. I actually love all the Vit A foods you mentioned. I do have a Vit A supplement 10,000 IU labeled "vision support" Vit A as palmitate. Is this synthetic? Will it help me or hurt me?

Hey Dr Berry 🙋🏾♀️
I make my own chicken liver pate (no preservatives or dodgy ingredients). I also love eggs and salmon. Had a DNA test and discovered that my body has trouble converting carotene to vitamin A. Just as well I have never gone vegetarian.
Great info. My hardest one would be #5.
Thank you. 👍🏾
Mmmmm love all 5
I can't do the liver at all!!!! The smell of it cooking makes me sick. I can definitely do eggs and butter!!👍
1. Liver. I eat cod liver, calf liver and liverwurst. I ate liver every morning when I was pregnant. 2. Egg yolk - yes, I do eat several eggs per week. 3. Butter, I use Kerrygold from Ireland, grass fed 4. Fatty fish. Cod liver, sardines. I mix my Cod liver like a tuna salad, add boiled eggs and Mayo . 5. Liverwurst - I get it in the deli section, love it.
Thank you very much I am way low in Vitamin A. I love eggs definitely going to eat more now , up my fish quota each week and look for cod liver oil for starters.
Thanks
I love liver, with or without onions. My husband hates it, but loves liverwurst. LOL. I also love pastured eggs, Kerrygold butter, and fatty fish.
Dr. Berry, what would be a brand of cod liver oil that you would recommend?
Yeah, last year, I repeatedly advised my two pregnant girl friends to eat liver, cod liver, sardines, eggs, red meat etc. - daily! What did they do? They got prenatal vitamin pills instead. The doctors told them liver and fish was forbidden during pregnancy. I told them that was a lie and they better stopped listening to the so called doctors. They stopped listening to me, instead.

What a coincidence! I had noticed the last couple of days that my eyesight is NOT what it used to be. And I always had good eyes. Just with getting older and having to do a LOT of reding in my job I needed reading glasses. But I really noticed on the road and doing my hob y, that’I had problems focusing. And lo and behold! Since a month or so I started eating lots of salads and not much else. It’s summer, I love salads , they’re quick and easy and I don’t fell like cooking for only lil ole me. Bit lazy....😉 My, my.... I know I have to take supplements ever since my gastric bypass because I’m never hungry, I have to MAKE myself eat or I would just drink coffee and be happy. So now I will have to add some stuff to my salads: more eggs and lots of liver I guess. I lOVE chicken liver and canned cod liver!❤❤❤ I even make my own chicken liver pâté. If I feel like it. 😋😋😋😋😋😋 And so far chicken liver and chicken hearts ❤❤❤ are still very cheap!!!!!🤑
Dr Berry I suffer with severe Dr eye and since you said Cod Keep ver oil I has helped me and continuing to get better and better!!! Thank you*
So true on his statements cuz I experienced ailments by trying to eat only on veggies. Never again.
My trick for eating liver, and getting my family to eat it, is that I take a pan and lay down one layer of bacon, then I put the livers (we like chicken livers) down on top of the bacon layer, and top with one more layer of bacon. I cook it till the bacon is done, and then I sprinkle on some Worcestershire sauce on top. It is delicious.

I like all of them, especially the liver and fish. Are the fish that are good for Vitamin E also good for Vitamin A? I had been thinking about getting some liverwurst because it would be easier than having to cook liver.
Love almost all and make a mean keto chicken liver pate. Never tried cod liver and will make a point to seek it out, love cod cheeks and tongue, yum.
My skin in so much smoother since I started eating two organic eggs fried in ghee for breakfast, lunch or dinner. That's my favorite source for Vitamin A and lots of other goodies.
I do not think I have ever had cod liver oil. I am going to have to see if I can find it. I eat everything else you mentioned regularly.
Great information, God bless you for your research and sharing!
Love liverwurst eggs fish. Is Irish butter ghee? Dad used to give our dogs liverwurst. I once rescued an emaciated puppy and I used to feed her chicken livers and rice, that's what the vet said to give her.
