What it is

Vitamin A palmitate is a form of vitamin A that is fat-soluble. It is made by combining vitamin A with palmitic acid, which is a fatty acid found naturally in palm oil and animal fats. This process makes vitamin A more stable and easier to incorporate into foods.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add vitamin A palmitate to fortify foods with vitamin A, which is essential for vision, immune function, and skin health. It is commonly found in dairy products like milk and yogurt, as well as in cereals, margarine, and infant formulas.

Health notes

Vitamin A palmitate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a nutrient supplement. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have also evaluated vitamin A and its derivatives. Excessive intake of vitamin A, from any source, can lead to adverse health effects, but typical dietary intake from fortified foods is not associated with these risks.

Allergen info

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