Vitamin A Palmitate

The Vision & Immunity Vitamin

A stable, fat-soluble form of vitamin A, clinically recognised for its essential role in vision, immunity, skin health, and maintaining cell functions.

What is Vitamin A Palmitate Good For?

Vitamin A is a crucial micronutrient involved in multiple biological processes from healthy eyesight to immune defence. The palmitate ester is more stable and bioavailable than retinol alone, making it the preferred form for supplements and fortified foods.

 

Vitamin A Palmitate supplementation may lead to:

  • Maintenance of normal vision (especially night vision) in people at risk of vitamin A deficiency
  • Improved clinical outcomes during viral infections (e.g human papilloma virus and measles)
  • Lowered facial ageing 
  • Improved health outcomes during pregnancy and lactation according to World Health Organisation (WHO)
  • Maintaining cell functions for growth and epithelial integrity

What is Vitamin A?

Vitamin A is a group of fat-soluble retinoids, including retinol, retinal, and retinyl esters. It plays a central role in improving vision, immune system, and epithelial tissue maintenance.

 

Vitamin A Palmitate is a storage form of vitamin A (retinyl palmitate) that is highly stable and easily converted into active retinol within the body.

What is the Recommended Daily Dose of Vitamin A Palmitate?

The EU NRV (Nutrient Reference Value) for vitamin A is 800 µg RE (Retinol Equivalents) per day, sufficient to maintain vision, immune system, and skin health.

It’s a stable ester form of vitamin A (retinyl palmitate) that the body converts to active retinol.
It supports vision, immunity, skin integrity, and cellular functions for growth.
Beta-carotene is a provitamin A carotenoid converted into vitamin A, while palmitate is a direct, active form that does not require conversion.
Vitamin A is safe at recommended doses. Excessive intake (>3000 µg RE/day) may cause toxicity, so care must be taken with combined sources.
Yes, it works synergistically with vitamin D for enhancing immune system and bone health, and with vitamin E for antioxidant defense.
