The best price per 800 µg and per month across 2 UK retailers, and where to buy it cheapest. A unit for comparing, not advice.

Comparing vitamin A

Labels give vitamin A in micrograms, and some in milligrams: 800 µg is 800 mcg. We put every product in one unit before pricing it. Vitamin A comes as retinol (palmitate / acetate) and beta-carotene, and each form has its own table, because someone buying one would not usually take another as a like-for-like substitute. Products that combine vitamin A with other ingredients are listed separately, because their price buys more than vitamin A. 800 µg is our unit for comparing prices, not a dose to take: the label’s directions and a pharmacist decide that.

Prices last checked: . Ranked purely by price per 800 µg — a comparison unit, not a recommendation. We earn commission when you buy through these links; it never affects the order.

Each shop's vitamin A products, with where its cheapest sits in the market.

How we work out these prices

We count the amount of vitamin A stated on the label, converting between units (for example micrograms and IU) so every product is on the same scale.
