Is Vitamin A Alpha-Gal Friendly?

Caution

Sometimes. Vitamin A can come from animal (fish liver oil) or plant sources. If the label does not provide a source, we recommend calling the manufacturer.

Vitamin A and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy vision, supporting immune function, and promoting skin health. It exists in two primary forms: preformed vitamin A, found in animal products like fish liver oil, and provitamin A carotenoids, found in plant-based foods such as carrots and sweet potatoes. Vitamin A palmitate is a synthetic form often used in supplements and fortified foods.
