AGD Nutrition's Vitamin A products are specially designed for use in pharmaceuticals and as food additives, where they are recognized and sought after for imparting excellent color and quality. The full product line to be marketed by Viachem includes a Vitamin A Palmitate oil, Vitamin A Palmitate powder concentrate, and Vitamin A Acetate powder, which has been specially designed for the fortification of flour as well as for use in vitamin/mineral premixes.

Vitamin A is widely used to improve vision. It also plays an important role in the development of bone, cell differentiation, reproduction, and cell division. In addition, it supports the human immune system, and is known to normalize skin. Clinical results have shown that it significantly affects the skin's thickness, and elasticity and its ability to increase collagen and DNA.

Kyle Einhorn, vice president of business development of Viachem, said, "We are delighted AGD Nutrition has chosen Viachem to represent its full line of Vitamin A products. Viachem's targeted marketing methods, as well as the deep industry expertise of our sales team members, are a perfect fit for AGD Nutrition's business goals. We look forward to many years of successful partnership."
