What does it do?

Vitamin A oil is a fat-soluble form of vitamin A that is an essential nutrient for maintaining vision and cell growth in the body. It is used in medicine to prevent or treat vitamin A deficiency.

Vitamin A is involved in the formation of rhodopsin, which is necessary for detecting light in the retinal cells of the eyes. It also helps maintain the health of skin and mucosal cells, supporting immune function.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.
