RBP Enhances the Function of these Substances
Vitamins
RBP transports the Retinol form of Vitamin A from its storage sites within the Liver to the body's tissues as required:
Although small quantities of Vitamin A are found in most tissues of the body, the Liver stores 90% of the body’s total Vitamin A content. It is stored as a complex consisting of 96% Retinyl Esters (i.e. Retinol plus a Fatty Acid) and 4% pure Retinol.
