What does it do?

Palmitate Retinol Granules are a fat-soluble vitamin, the storage form of Vitamin A. They are primarily used to prevent and treat Vitamin A deficiency in growing children. They help maintain Vitamin A levels in the body as part of gastrointestinal and metabolic medicines.

In the body, Palmitate Retinol is converted to Vitamin A, which is involved in maintaining vision and cell growth. It plays a crucial role in detecting light in the retina of the eye, assisting with normal visual function. Additionally, it contributes to the health of the skin and mucous membranes.

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

Good to know

Palmitate Retinol is a stable storage form of Vitamin A, which is easier to absorb and store in the body compared to direct Vitamin A. Unlike other Vitamin A derivatives, it can be used relatively safely over long periods. Also, being fat-soluble, it is absorbed well when taken with fats, in contrast to water-soluble vitamins.
