Vitamin a palmitate
Neutral

Vitamin A palmitate is a synthetic form of vitamin A added to fortify reduced fat milk. It helps in maintaining vision, immune function, and skin health. However, it is not naturally occurring in milk and is added to compensate for the loss of fat-soluble vitamins during fat reduction.

Risks

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

Benefits

Supports vision, immune function, and skin health by providing an essential nutrient that may be reduced in lower-fat dairy products.
