RESUMEN
Importantes investigaciones han señalado la capacidad del aceite de palma rojo para combatir la deficiencia de la vitamina A en niños y mujeres gestantes. Esto sugiere que los carotenoides (provitamina A) presentes en el aceite de palma rojo son absorbidos, almacenados y convertidos de manera eficiente a equivalentes de retinol activos y luego, utilizados por el organismo para suplir sus necesidades. Por tanto, el aceite de palma representa un medio eficaz para contrarrestar la deficiencia de vitamina A. Important research studies have shown the capacity of the red palm oil to fight against vitamin A deficiency in children and pregnant women.
