Vitamin A

Vitamin A is a high-purity, fat-soluble nutrient used in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic formulations for its essential role in vision, cellular growth, and immune system support. It is widely used in dietary supplements, fortified foods, topical preparations, and clinical nutrition products for the prevention and treatment of Vitamin A deficiency and related disorders.
• Fat-soluble essential nutrient for pharmaceutical, nutritional, and cosmetic applications
• Supports vision, immune response, cellular differentiation, and skin health
• Used in oral, parenteral, and topical formulations
• Suitable for tablets, softgels, emulsions, and fortified food products
• Is manufactured under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certified conditions
• Supplied with complete regulatory documentation including Certificate of Analysis (CoA) and technical data
Vitamin A refers to a group of retinoid compounds, including retinol, retinal, and retinyl esters. It appears as a yellow to orange viscous oil or crystalline solid, depending on the form, and is soluble in fats and organic solvents but insoluble in water. It is highly sensitive to oxidation and light, requiring stabilization during formulation and storage.
In pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic applications, Vitamin A is used in:
• Oral supplements and fortified foods to prevent Vitamin A deficiency
• Parenteral nutrition formulations providing essential fat-soluble vitamins
• Topical creams and serums promoting skin regeneration and collagen synthesis
• Ophthalmic preparations for vision and corneal health
• Research and development of antioxidant and anti-aging products
Vitamin A functions as a regulator of gene expression and cell differentiation. It contributes to normal vision through its role in the synthesis of rhodopsin and maintains epithelial integrity in various tissues. Its antioxidant activity also protects cells from oxidative damage.
CarboMer supplies Vitamin A in various grades and forms, including retinyl acetate and retinyl palmitate, with control over assay, stability, and peroxide value. The material is suitable for regulated pharmaceutical, nutritional, and cosmetic applications.
The material is packaged in light-protective, moisture-resistant, tamper-evident containers. It is available in laboratory, pilot, and commercial-scale quantities. Minimum order quantities (MOQ), lead times, and documentation including CoA and SDS are provided upon request.
Each batch is tested for identity (UV, IR), assay (retinol equivalent), peroxide value, specific gravity, and stability. Certificates of Analysis (CoA), Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and full traceability documentation accompany every shipment.
As with all CarboMer vitamins and nutritional ingredients, Vitamin A is supported by formulation guidance, regulatory expertise, and dependable global supply to ensure safe, effective, and compliant product performance.
