BulkSupplements.com Vitamin A 10000 IU Softgels - as Retinyl Palmitate, Vitamin A Supplement - for Vision & Immune Support, Gluten-free, 1 Soft gel capsule per Serving, 365 Count (Pack of 1)

How Much Vitamin A Do You Need?

For adults, the Reference Nutrient Intake (RNI) for vitamin A is 700 µg per day for men and 600 µg for women, equivalent to 2,333 IU and 2,000 IU respectively. Each soft gel capsule provides 10,000 IU (3,000 µg RAE) of preformed vitamin A as retinyl palmitate, which exceeds the RNI but is equal to the Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) of 10,000 IU per day. Do not take more than one soft gel capsule daily unless advised by a health care professional. Pregnant women should consult their doctor before uses, as high doses may increase the risk of birth defects.

What is Vitamin A?

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin essential for maintaining normal vision, immune function, and skin health. It occurs naturally in two forms: preformed vitamin A (retinol and its esters, such as retinyl palmitate) from animal sources, and provitamin A carotenoids (like beta-carotene) from plants. BulkSupplements.com Vitamin A 10000 IU softgels deliver retinyl palmitate, a highly bio-available form that your body can uses directly without needing to convert it.

Types of Vitamin A: Retinol vs. Beta-Carotene

The vitamin A in these softgels is retinyl palmitate, a preformed retinol ester. Unlike beta-carotene, which the body must convert into active vitamin A (a process that varies between individuals), retinyl palmitate is already in a utilizable form. This makes it particularly reliable for consistent intake. Beta-carotene is considered safer at high doses because the body regulates conversion, but preformed vitamin A is more efficient for targeted needs.

Health Benefits of Vitamin A

Vitamin A contributes to several important functions in the body:

• Normal vision: Vitamin A is a component of rhodopsin, a protein in the retina that helps you see in low light.
• Immune function: It helps maintain the integrity of skin and mucosal barriers, supporting the body's natural defences.
• Skin health: Vitamin A supports cell growth and differentiation, contributing to healthy skin.
• Reproduction and development: It plays a role in normal reproduction and foetal development.

These benefits are recognized by the European Food Safety Authority. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, or prevent any disease. Always consult a health care professional before taking supplements.

Potential Side Effects and Safety

Excessive intake of preformed vitamin A over time can lead to hypervitaminosis A, with symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, blurred vision, and liver damage. Since each soft gel capsule supplies 10,000 IU, do not combine with other high-dose vitamin A supplements. The softgels contain soya, so those with soya allergies should seek medical advice. Store in a cool, dry place and keep out of reach of children.
