Vitamin A palmitate
Neutral

Vitamin A palmitate is a synthetic form of vitamin A added to fortify milk, ensuring adequate intake of this essential nutrient. It is commonly used in reduced-fat and skim milk products to replace the vitamin A lost during fat removal. While beneficial for maintaining vision and immune function, it is not naturally occurring in milk.

Risks

Excessive intake of vitamin A palmitate can lead to toxicity, but this is unlikely through milk consumption alone.

Benefits

Helps maintain healthy vision and supports immune function.
