Rating breakdown

Evidence for ingredient 7.0/10

Vitamin A is essential for normal immune function and mucosal protection, but has a narrow therapeutic window.

Value for money 8.0/10

At €0.20 per 10,000 IU in pharmaceutical-grade quality, the price is fair.

Product quality 9.0/10

Pure Encapsulations manufactures under cGMP and tests for oxidation products and heavy metals.

Label honesty 9.0/10

IU, µg RAE, and excipients fully disclosed; allergens excluded.

Third-party testing 8.0/10

Each batch receives COAs; a US pharmacy network additionally performs regular potency checks.

Product Description

Retinyl palmitate delivers 10,000 IU (equivalent to 3,000 µg RAE) per capsule in hypoallergenic cellulose capsules free from gluten, soy, and dairy.

What We Like

  • cGMP manufacturing with comprehensive COAs
  • High dose reduces number of capsules needed for short-term protocols
  • Hypoallergenic formulation without unnecessary oils

What We’re Missing

  • High dose not intended for daily long-term use
  • No beta-carotene alternative for more cautious users

Usage Recommendation

1 capsule every 2–3 days with a fat-containing meal, if indicated by lab results or a physician. During pregnancy, use only under medical supervision.

Ingredient dossier

Essential for vision, skin, and immune function. Clearly useful for deficiency, but high doses are toxic—especially in pregnancy.
