Supports vision (especially night vision), immune defence, skin cell turnover and gene expression. Fat-soluble — stored in the liver, so dose matters.
Why this form
Retinyl palmitate is a stable ester form of preformed vitamin A that is reliably absorbed and less irritating to the skin and mucous membranes than retinol, making it suitable for regular supplementation.
Key benefits
Vision & retinal function
Vitamin A is the precursor to retinal, the chromophore in rod and cone photoreceptors. It contributes to the maintenance of normal vision, including in low-light conditions.
Immune function & epithelial integrity
Vitamin A contributes to the normal function of the immune system and regulates the differentiation of epithelial cells in the respiratory, digestive and urogenital tracts, maintaining the mucosal barriers that support normal immune defence.
Skin cell turnover
Retinoids regulate keratinocyte differentiation and epidermal renewal — the process by which the skin continuously replaces surface cells, maintaining texture, tone and barrier function.
