Product Description :
Retinol is one of the animal forms of vitamin A. It is a diterpenoid and an alcohol. It is convertable to other forms of vitamin A, but as retinol (the alcohol form) it is thought to serve an irreplaceable vitamin function in the reproductive tracts of male and female mammals. The retinyl ester derivative of the alcohol serves as the storage form of the vitamin in animals.
