Size: 59 Milliliters
Vitamin A Mulsion by Professional Formulas delivers vitamin A in an emulsified liquid form — a delivery format designed to support absorption, particularly for those with compromised fat digestion or malabsorption concerns. At 59 mL, this concentrated dropper bottle supports immune function, skin integrity, and normal vision maintenance.
Why It's Worth Considering: The emulsified format enhances bioavailability compared to standard oil-based softgels, making it a practical option for practitioners whose clients may have difficulty absorbing fat-soluble nutrients effectively.
Preformed vitamin A (retinol/retinyl palmitate) is immediately active — your body uses it directly. Beta-carotene is a provitamin A that must be converted to retinol. Conversion is inefficient (6:1 ratio) and varies by genetics — up to 45% of people are poor converters. For therapeutic use, preformed retinol or retinyl palmitate is preferred.
The tolerable upper limit is 10,000 IU/day of preformed vitamin A for adults. Most supplements provide 3,000-5,000 IU. Cod liver oil provides natural vitamin A + D together. Beta-carotene does not have a toxic upper limit (excess is stored harmlessly). Pregnant women should not exceed 5,000 IU preformed A.
Yes — vitamin A is fat-soluble and accumulates in the liver. Chronic intake above 25,000 IU/day can cause toxicity (headache, nausea, liver damage, bone loss). This is only a concern with preformed vitamin A supplements, not beta-carotene or food sources. Stay within recommended doses and avoid combining multiple A-containing supplements.
