What Is Vitamin A?

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that contributes to maintaining normal vision, supporting immune function, and promoting healthy skin. It exists in two primary forms: preformed vitamin A (retinol and retinyl esters) and provitamin A carotenoids (such as beta-carotene). Preformed vitamin A is found in animal products and is directly usable by the body, while provitamin A carotenoids must be converted into retinol. This Amazing Formulae supplement provides vitamin A as retinyl palmitate, a stable and bioavailable form of preformed vitamin A.

How Much Vitamin A Do You Need?

The recommended daily allowance (RDA) for vitamin A is 900 mcg RAE (3,000 IU) for adult men and 700 mcg RAE (2,333 IU) for adult women. The tolerable upper intake level (UL) is 3,000 mcg RAE (10,000 IU) from preformed vitamin A. This supplement provides 10,000 IU per soft gel capsule, which is at the UL for adults. It is important not to exceed the recommended serving size and to consider total vitamin A from all sources, including food and other supplements.

Types of Vitamin A: Retinol vs. Beta-Carotene

Vitamin A comes in two main dietary forms. Retinol (preformed vitamin A) is found in animal-based foods and is readily absorbed and utilised by the body. Beta-carotene and other provitamin A carotenoids come from plant sources and require conversion into retinol—a process that varies amongst individuals. Retinyl palmitate, the form used in this supplement, is a retinol ester that is efficiently absorbed. For those seeking direct and reliable vitamin A intake, retinyl palmitate is an excellent choice.

Potential Side Effects and Safety

Vitamin A toxicity (hypervitaminosis A) can occur from excessive intake of preformed vitamin A, leading to symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, and liver damage. Long-term intake above the UL should be avoided. Pregnant women, those planning to become pregnant, or individuals taking medications should consult a health care professional before using high-dose vitamin A supplements. Always follow the serving size and store the bottle out of reach of children.
