The body does not produce vitamin A; however the body can make vitamin A from a substance called beta carotene. Beta carotene is the orange/yellow color found in fruits and vegetables like carrots, pumpkin, peaches, apricots and sweet potatoes and is often referred to as the precurser of vitamin A or pre-formed vitamin A.
