What it is
Vitamin A and Vitamin D are essential fat-soluble vitamins. Vitamin A is important for vision, immune function, and skin health. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium and is crucial for bone health.
Why it's used
These vitamins are often added to foods to fortify them, meaning to increase their nutrient content. They are commonly found in dairy products like milk and yogurt, as well as some cereals and plant-based milk alternatives.
Health notes
In the US, Vitamin A and D are regulated as nutrients. The National Academies have established Upper Intake Levels (ULs) for these vitamins, which are the maximum daily amounts that are unlikely to cause harmful health effects. Both vitamins have been evaluated by international bodies like JECFA and EFSA. Consuming adequate amounts is important for overall health, but excessive intake can lead to adverse effects.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. However, if fortified into dairy products, it is associated with milk.
