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 (retinol) with palmitic acid, which can be derived from animal sources like palm oil or fish liver oil.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add vitamin A palmitate to foods as a nutrient fortifier, enriching products to help consumers meet their daily vitamin A needs. It is commonly found in fortified dairy products like milk and yogurt, as well as in baked goods such as croissants, sweet rolls, and muffins.

Health notes

In the U.S., vitamin A palmitate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a nutrient supplement. It is an important nutrient for human health, but excessive intake can lead to toxicity. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated vitamin A and established guidelines for safe intake levels.

Allergen info

Vitamin A palmitate is not derived from any of the FDA's major allergens and does not contain gluten.
