Plant-based food sources do not contain bioactive vitamin A, only the vitamin A precursor beta-carotene, which the body must convert to vitamin A itself. A deficiency in active vitamin A can develop in those suffering from an impaired ability to convert beta-carotene.
Our vitamin A is in the form of retinyl acetate, which can easily be synthesised to directly bioactive vitamin A. Our retinyl acetate is a pure, high-quality premium ingredient and free from impurities resulting from release agents used during production. In contrast to many retinyl palmitate products, our vitamin A is 100% vegan and not produced from animal products.
Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin and yields its highest bioavailability in oil. Our highly concentrated vitamin A is dissolved in sunflower oil and diluted with high-quality MCT coconut oil.
