Retinol Usage and Synthesis:

Retinol, the chemical name for vitamin A, was the first vitamin to be discovered. There are two types of vitamin A. One is retinol, the original form of vitamin A (found only in animal foods); the other is carotene (found only in animal foods). The other is carotene, which is transformed in the body into a provitaminA, which can be consumed from both plant and animal foods.

Vitamin A is officially recognized internationally as a nutritional necessity, and its deficiency can lead to night blindness.

Pharmacokinetics of Retinol:

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble alcohol that comes in several molecular forms. Among them, VA1 is mainly found in animal liver, blood and retina of the eye, also called retinol, with a melting VA2 is mainly found in freshwater fish, with a melting point of only 17-19°C and a molecular formula of C20H28O. Vitamin A is a component of the visual cell Vitamin A is a component of the retinoid that perceives low light. Retinol is composed of retinoid and retinaldehyde and is associated with dark vision. Vitamin A deficiency in humans affects the ability to adapt to darkness. such as stunting in children, dry skin, dry eye disease, night blindness, age spots, etc.
