Vitamin A Beta-carotene
Also called retinol, retinyl palmitate, retinyl acetate and 3 more
beta-carotene, beta carotene, betacarotene.
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.

Only combination products for this form
The 39 products here contain vitamin a alongside other ingredients, so they are not ranked against single-ingredient products. Their price per dose counts the vitamin a only.
By shop
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.
