Sometimes. Retinol typically refers to animal-derived Vitamin A, but it can be synthesized as well. If the label does not provide a source, we recommend calling the manufacturer.

Retinol and the Pescatarian Diet

Retinol is a fat-soluble vitamin that is part of the Vitamin A family. It plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy vision, skin, and immune function. Typically, retinol is derived from animal sources such as fish liver oil, but it can also be synthesized in laboratories. It is often used in dietary supplements and skincare products.
