Numerous studies point to the value of Vitamin A in boosting immunity, as it enhances Th2 [T-helper cell type 2] mediated immune responses, necessary for fighting bacterial and parasitic infections.  In addition, several studies have shown that vitamin A is a potent stimulator of growth hormone production.
