ABSTRACT:
Introduction: Vitamin A (retinol) deficiency is a major public health disorder, usually present in low- and middle-income countries. The strategy of supplementing vitamin A for infants under 6 months of age is yet another measure aimed at improving the nutrition of these small patients at high risk of deficiency in this important micronutrient, and thus drastically reducing their associated mortality and morbidity. Objectives: This literature review seeks to evaluate the effect of synthetic Retinol supplementation in infants from one to six months of age, regardless of serum levels of this micronutrient in the mother during prenatal and postnatal care, as well as possible adverse effects.
