Vitamin A

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin. In food it occurs in two forms: as preformed vitamin A, i.e. retinol and its compounds, in foods of animal origin such as liver, fish liver oil, dairy products and eggs, and as provitamin A carotenoids, for example beta-carotene in carrots, sweet potatoes and dark green leafy vegetables. In this product vitamin A is in preformed form: as retinyl palmitate, a compound of retinol and palmitic acid, and in fish liver oil.
