What is Vitamin A?
Contributes to the maintenance of normal vision, normal function of the immune system, the maintenance of normal skin and has a role in the process of cell division. Fat-soluble — stored in the liver, so dose matters.
Why Retinyl Acetate?
Retinyl acetate is a stable ester form of preformed vitamin A that is converted to retinoic acid in the body. It is gentler and less irritating than retinol or prescription retinoids, making it suitable for daily long-term supplementation.
What are the benefits of Vitamin A?
Vision & retinal function
Vitamin A is the precursor to retinal, the chromophore in rod and cone photoreceptors. It contributes to the maintenance of normal vision, including in low-light conditions.
Immune function & epithelial integrity
Vitamin A contributes to the normal function of the immune system and regulates the differentiation of epithelial cells in the respiratory, digestive and urogenital tracts, maintaining the mucosal barriers that support normal immune defence.
Skin cell turnover
Retinoids regulate keratinocyte differentiation and epidermal renewal — the process by which the skin continuously replaces surface cells, maintaining texture, tone and barrier function.
