Vitamin A Oil Drops give you preformed vitamin A as retinyl palmitate in avocado oil, one drop a day. This form does not need converting from beta carotene, so you know the amount you are getting. A 100ml bottle holds 2,500 drops.
Vitamin A is a fat soluble vitamin your eyes, skin and immune system all rely on, which is why it comes in oil, the carrier it absorbs from.
Vitamin A Oil Drops are most useful for:
Each drop provides 673mcg of vitamin A, which is 84% of the daily reference value. The bottle contains two ingredients, avocado oil and retinyl palmitate. Retinyl palmitate drops, retinol palmitate and preformed vitamin A are other names for it.
Take one drop once a day with any meal, placed on food or straight into the mouth. Keep to the label amount, because vitamin A is one of the vitamins where more is not better.
The liquid is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. It is free from gluten, dairy and nuts.
The liquid is made in the UK in a GMP certified cleanroom facility accredited to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. Every batch is traceable from raw material to finished product. Like every supplement Nutri Tailor stocks, it is practitioner grade and guaranteed additive free.
Why retinyl palmitate rather than beta carotene or cod liver oil?
Retinyl palmitate is preformed vitamin A, the form your body uses directly, while beta carotene has to be converted and the conversion varies a lot between people. Cod liver oil provides the same form too, but alongside vitamin D and omega 3 in a fixed ratio you cannot adjust.
How much vitamin A should I take a day?
Take one drop a day, which gives you 673mcg, most of the daily reference value. Do not take more without professional guidance.
When is the best time to take vitamin A?
You can take it at any time of day, with a meal that contains some fat, because vitamin A is fat soluble.
Can I take it with other supplements?
Yes, but check what else you take for vitamin A, because it is a vitamin where overlapping products add up. A multivitamin may already contain some.
Does vitamin A have side effects?
Not at one drop a day, but vitamin A builds up in the body with sustained high intake, so keep to the label amount. It is not suitable during pregnancy or when planning a pregnancy, when beta carotene is the form to use instead.
Why drops rather than tablets?
One drop is a full daily amount, so the dose is simple and there are no binders or coating. The liquid contains only the vitamin and its oil.

Vitamin A Oil provides essential vitamins supporting multiple body functions.
Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) should be taken with fat-containing food.
Yes, but check for overlap to avoid excessive doses.
Natural forms are often better absorbed. Look for methylated B vitamins and natural vitamin E (d-alpha vs dl-alpha).
Water-soluble vitamins (B and C) are fine on empty stomach. Fat-soluble vitamins need food with fat for absorption.
Retinyl palmitate is preformed vitamin A, the form the body uses directly. Beta carotene has to be converted, and the conversion varies a lot between people, so the amount of vitamin A you get from it is uncertain. Cod liver oil provides preformed vitamin A too, but alongside vitamin D and omega 3 in a fixed ratio you cannot adjust. These drops give a measured amount of vitamin A on its own, one drop for a full daily amount, which suits people who have been advised to take preformed vitamin A at a set dose. Vitamin A is one of the vitamins where more is not better, so the drops stay at the label dose unless a practitioner says otherwise.
Drops let the amount be adjusted one drop at a time, and they suit anyone who cannot swallow tablets. Tablets need binders and a coating to hold their shape; this liquid contains only the active ingredient and its carrier.
