Vitamin A in beef liver and cod liver oil
Beef liver and cod liver oil are biggest natural sources of vitamin A. I was checking some cod liver oil with suppliers online, one said the vitamin A is in retinyl palmitate form and another said it is in Retinyl acetate form and that confused me. Here questions that came to my mind.
1. In which form all or most of vitamin A is in cod liver oil and beef liver naturally?
2. Which form of vitamin A is best for eating?

Something that has caught my eye recently….(not enough to buy any)… was fermented cod liver oil.
As you know…in an oil, most everything is tied up in a triglyceride. Fermentation can spring these bonds…and possibly allow some value enhancement.
Take a peek at this article. I am not condoning, just making you aware. You are probably aware of several Korean companies, that are fermenting various cosmetic oils.

A lot of this will be contingent on if the product is consumed…or applied to skin.
