Swanson Vitamins Vitamin A (250 softgels) is a dietary supplement with vitamin A derived from both cod liver oil and vitamin A palmitate. This product contains a high dosage per softgel and is suitable for those looking to supplement vitamin A from an animal source. The softgels are small and easy to swallow, making the product user-friendly. In this supplement, vitamin A is present as retinol, a well-absorbed form. It is a popular choice for people who want to support their daily vitamin intake with a simple daily supplement.
Cod liver oil is a well-known, natural source of vitamin A. Retinyl palmitate is added because it has a long shelf life and ensures a consistent amount per softgel. This way, the supplement offers a combination of natural and stabilized vitamin A.
Retinol from cod liver oil and retinyl palmitate is directly usable by the body. Beta-carotene, from sources like carrots, must first be converted to vitamin A. That conversion varies per person and is less efficient.
RAE stands for Retinol Activity Equivalents. This unit is mainly used in the United States.
Not exactly. Cod liver oil comes from fish (such as cod), while other animal sources like beef or chicken liver also contain vitamin A but in different ratios and forms.
Natural vitamin A comes from sources like cod liver oil. Synthetic forms such as retinyl palmitate are made in a controlled production process. Both provide the same type of vitamin A but differ in origin and processing.
