Vitamin A Palmitate, chemical name as retinol acetate, is the earliest vitamin being discovered. There are two types of Vitamin A: one is retinol which is the initial form of VA, it only exists in animals; another one is carotene. Retinol can be composited by β-carotene coming from plants. Inside the body, under the catalysis of β-carotene-15 and 15′-double oxygenase, β-carotene is transformed into ratinal which is returned to retinol by the performance of ratinal reductase. Thus β-carotene is also called as vitamin precursor. Vitamin A Palmitate Powder is a group of unsaturated nutritional organic compounds, that includes retinol, retinal, retinoic acid, and several provitamin A carotenoids, among which beta-carotene is the most important.

Vitamin A Palmitate, also chemically referred to as retinyl palmitate, is a fat-soluble form of Vitamin A. It represents one of the most stable and early-discovered forms of essential Vitamin A precursors and finds widespread use in nutritional supplements and topical products.
We offer Food & Supplement Grade Vitamin A Palmitate in three primary concentrations: 500,000 IU/g powder, 1,700,000 IU/g oil, and 250,000 IU/g microcapsule powder to suit various product formulation requirements.
Vitamin A Palmitate possesses significantly higher stability. Unlike pure retinol, it provides higher resistance to oxidation, limits activity loss, and tolerates long-term storage and higher temperatures during manufacturing.
Our 500,000 IU/g powder features exceptional water dispersibility. It is engineered to easily disperse in cold water down to 15°C, yielding a stable and completely homogeneous emulsion.
Standard small orders of 1kg are sealed in double plastic bags wrapped in protective aluminum foil bags. For bulk quantities of 10kg, 25kg, or more, the cargo is packaged in heavy-duty drums or cartons with interior double-layer plastic bags.
Small shipments up to 100kgs are dispatched via express couriers (DHL, Fedex, EMS) and take 3-7 days to deliver door-to-door. Shipments over 100kgs can be processed via air freight (3-7 days) or sea freight (10-35 days depending on the final port destination).
