1 What is the significance of vitamin A for pregnancy?
Vitamin A is particularly important for women during pregnancy. Among other things, the vitamin ensures healthy growth of the unborn child. Vitamin A is also essential for the maturing of the lungs and the growth of tissue and cells. Due to its fat solubility, the human organism is able to store the vitamin. Pregnant women in particular should make sure that they are sufficiently supplied with beta-carotene. From the fourth month of pregnancy onwards, the need for vitamin A is slightly increased.
