What does it do?

Retinyl Palmitate granules are a fat-soluble form of Vitamin A that is converted into active Vitamin A in the body. They are primarily used in pharmaceuticals to prevent or treat Vitamin A deficiency. Vitamin A plays an important role in maintaining vision and immune function.

In the body, Retinyl Palmitate is converted into retinol by enzymes to act as Vitamin A. Vitamin A is necessary for producing substances that detect light in the retina of the eye and assists in cell growth and immune responses.

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