Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin essential for vision, immune function, and cellular growth. It exists in two primary forms: preformed vitamin A (retinol, retinyl esters) found in animal sources (e.g., liver, fish oils) and provitamin A carotenoids (e.g., beta-carotene) derived from plants (e.g., carrots, spinach). Commercially, vitamin A is produced via chemical synthesis or extracted from natural sources, meeting pharmaceutical-grade, food-grade, and cosmetic-grade standards. It complies with FDA, EFSA, and EU regulations (E160a for carotenoids).
Key Features
Vision Support: Critical for retinal function and low-light vision (via rhodopsin synthesis).
Immune Enhancement: Strengthens mucosal barriers and supports white blood cell activity.
Skin Health: Promotes cell regeneration, reduces acne, and combats aging.
Antioxidant Activity: Neutralizes free radicals (especially beta-carotene).
Versatility: Available as oil-soluble retinol, water-dispersible powders, or encapsulated forms.
