What does it do?

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that is primarily an essential nutrient for maintaining vision and cell growth. In pharmaceuticals, it is mainly used to prevent or supplement vitamin deficiency.

Vitamin A is involved in the formation of rhodopsin, which is necessary for detecting light in the retina, and supports the function of immune cells, enhancing resistance to infections.

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

Good to know

Unlike precursors such as beta-carotene, Vitamin A acts directly in its active form, allowing for rapid effects. Additionally, it can be toxic in cases of overdose, making proper dosage adjustment important.
