What it is

Vitamin A palmitate is a form of vitamin A, an essential nutrient for vision, immune function, and skin health. It is made by combining vitamin A with palmitic acid, which is derived from palm oil or other fatty acids. This combination makes vitamin A more stable and easier to incorporate into foods.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add vitamin A palmitate to fortify foods, helping consumers meet their daily vitamin A needs. It is often found in dairy products like milk and butter, cereals, infant formulas, and some baked goods. It acts as a nutrient to enhance the nutritional profile of these products.

Health notes

Vitamin A palmitate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a nutrient. The FDA also lists it as an approved food additive. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated vitamin A and its derivatives, establishing acceptable daily intakes. Consuming too much vitamin A, especially from supplements or fortified foods, can lead to toxicity, but this is unlikely from typical food fortification levels.

Allergen info

Vitamin A palmitate is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
