Product Information
What is Cytoplan Vitamin A Retinol Palmitate good for?
Cytoplan Vitamin A Retinol Palmitate delivers a highly bioavailable form of vitamin A, essential for multiple systems in the body. This high-strength formula provides 5000iu per capsule to support skin health, the integrity of mucous membranes in the lungs and gut, normal immune function, and healthy vision including night vision. It also plays a role in iron metabolism, which is important for red blood cell production and energy.
Unlike beta carotene, retinol palmitate does not require conversion in the body, making it an effective form for individuals who may not convert plant-based sources efficiently. This supplement is suitable for vegetarians and vegans and is best taken for short to medium-term use before transitioning to a multivitamin with vitamin A or beta carotene for maintenance.
