Understanding the role of vitamin A and its precursors in the immune system

Effects of vitamin A supplementation on intestinal barrier function, growth, total parasitic, and specific Giardia spp infections in Brazilian children: a prospective randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial

Conclusions: These data showed that total parasitic infection and Giardia spp infections were significantly lower in the vitamin A treatment group when compared with the placebo group, suggesting that vitamin A improves the host's defenses against Giardia infections.

Yes, it should be helpful and just what we need in an infection, so the mystery is why can it also be in excess and loaded up in the liver while blood levels are insufficient for an immune response? Maybe because of lack of protein, taurine, zinc, niacin, and phosphatidylethanolamine. ........ I am tired, maybe I shouldn't posted yet, but it has been several days in the works already.
