Vitamin A acetate(Cat No.: R004473), also known as retinyl acetate, is a stable ester form of vitamin A commonly used in dietary supplements, cosmetics, and fortified foods. It plays a vital role in maintaining healthy vision, immune function, and skin integrity. Once ingested or absorbed, it is converted in the body to active retinol. Its stability against oxidation makes it preferable for formulation compared to free retinol. Vitamin A acetate supports cellular differentiation, reproduction, and growth, making it essential for overall health.
