Vitamins A Palmitate And D3 Added

Vitamin A palmitate and Vitamin D3 are fat-soluble vitamins added to foods. Vitamin A palmitate is made from vitamin A and palmitic acid, which can be derived from animal or plant sources. Vitamin D3 is typically sourced from lanolin (sheep's wool) or lichen.

These vitamins are added to foods to fortify them, helping consumers meet their daily intake needs. They are most commonly added to dairy products like milk and yogurt, as well as some cereals and plant-based milk alternatives.

Vitamin A and Vitamin D are essential nutrients. The FDA considers added vitamins and minerals to be safe when consumed at levels typically found in fortified foods. Both vitamins have been evaluated by international bodies like JECFA and EFSA. Excessive intake of fat-soluble vitamins can lead to adverse health effects, but this is rare from food sources alone.
