Usage:
Dietary supplements:
For preparations with a lipophilic base, e.g. soft gelatin capsules.
Pharmaceutical products:
Both, EU Drug Master File and US Drug Master.File are available.The product is particularly suitable for manufacturingaqueous solutions using solubilizingagents such as Cremophor EL or Cremophor RH 40 for oral administration and Solutol.HS 15 for parenteral use. The chart shows the required quantity of Cremophor RH 40 for the solubilization of proportional quantities of
Vitamin A palmitate.Sterilization of the final product is required for parenteral use.
Food products:
Used for the fortification of fatty foods such asmargarine, spreads, oils, milk and dairy products.Quantities of 3-9 mg (10,000-30,000 IU)of
Vitamin A palmitate, calculated as retinol, are usually added per kg of margarine. The regulationsgoverning the use of BHT must be observed.
Cosmetics:
For use in cosmetic oils, emulsions (creams,lotions, body milk, gels etc.) and other preparations,e.g. lipstick, masks. A solubilizing agent is required if the product is to be used in an aqueous/alcoholic preparation. The maximum quantities legally permitted for use in cosmetics must be observed.
