How to take vitamin a?

On our website, we offer you a careful selection of vitamins such as this one with retinoic acid to meet the daily recommended requirements of SEOM (translated as Spanish Society of Medical Oncology), which are determined according to sex and age to optimise the metabolism and achieve a healthier organism.

The SCF's (Scientific Committee on Food) recommended daily allowance (NRV*) of vitamin A is 800mcg for both men and women.

Vitamin A (retinol or retinoic acid) belongs to the retinoid group. It is fat-soluble and accumulates in adipose tissue and the liver. Taking it with a polyunsaturated or monounsaturated fat source such as vegetable oils, butter or nuts will help its absorption, especially if taken at the first meal of the day to maximise its potential.
