In this episode of The Ingredientsage Podcast, we take a detailed look at Vitamin A, one of the most essential yet frequently misunderstood nutrients.
We explore the differences between retinoids and carotenoids, how each form is absorbed and converted in the body, and the specific advantages and limitations of popular supplement formats like retinyl palmitate, retinyl acetate, and beta-carotene.
You’ll learn how to identify safe and effective dosage ranges, understand toxicity risks, and evaluate the quality and sourcing of vitamin A in both supplements and fortified foods.
We also talk about how Vitamin A is important for vision, immune health, skin health, and reproduction, as well as what brands need to think about to provide strong products that are still safe.
Because understanding ingredients is the first step toward building better wellness.
