8 Signs and Symptoms of Vitamin A Deficiency

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that is important for many bodily functions, including proper vision, a strong immune system, reproduction and good skin health.

There are two types of vitamin A found in foods: preformed vitamin A and provitamin A (1).

Preformed vitamin A is also known as retinol and commonly found in meat, fish, eggs and dairy products.

On the other hand, the body converts carotenoids in plant foods, such as red, green, yellow and orange fruits and vegetables, into vitamin A (2Trusted Source).

While deficiency is rare in developed countries, many people in developing countries do not get enough vitamin A.

Those at highest risk of deficiency are pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, infants and children. Cystic fibrosis and chronic diarrhea may also increase your risk of deficiency.

Here are 8 signs and symptoms of vitamin A deficiency.

Dry skin

Night blindness

Dry eyes

Infertility

delay growth

Thoart and chest infection

Poor wound healing

Acne and breakout etc.

After the death of William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe honored his memory with a play on the subject of Edward II. Group of
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Edward II was a play written by Christopher Marlowe, who was also a great influencer of the Elizabethan writers during and after his time. The play depicts a homosexual relationship between King Edward II of England and the 1st Earl of Cornwall, Piers Gaveston.

The statement that Edward II was written by Marlowe as a way of honoring the memory of William Shakespeare after his death is false as Marlowe died before Shakespeare. While Shakespeare died in 1616, Marlowe was killed in 1593. The play Edward II was entered into the Stationer's Register some five weeks after the death of Marlowe.
