Types of Vitamin A: Retinol vs. Beta-Carotene
Vitamin A comes in two main forms: preformed vitamin A (retinol, retinyl esters) and provitamin A carotenoids (like beta-carotene). Preformed vitamin A is found in animal sources such as fish liver oil, liver, and dairy. It is readily absorbed and used by the body. Beta-carotene, found in colourful fruits and vegetables, must be converted to retinol in the body, a process that becomes less efficient with age. Natural Nutra Vitamin A undertake retinyl palmitate from fish liver oil, providing a direct and potent source without relying on conversion. This makes it an excellent choice for those seeking reliable vitamin A support.

Acute toxicity from a single very high-dose is rare but possible. Do not exceed the recommended dose.
