How Much Vitamin A Do You Need?

Health Canada recommends a daily intake of 900 mcg RAE (3,000 IU) for adult men and 700 mcg RAE (2,333 IU) for adult women. The tolerable upper intake level (UL) from preformed vitamin A is 3,000 mcg RAE (10,000 IU) per day. This supplement provides 10,000 IU per softgel, which is at the UL. Do not exceed one softgel daily, and consider total vitamin A from all sources including food and other supplements.

Types of Vitamin A: Retinol vs. Beta-Carotene

Vitamin A exists in two main dietary forms. Preformed vitamin A (retinol and retinyl esters) is found in animal products and is directly usable by the body. Provitamin A carotenoids like beta-carotene come from plants and require conversion into retinol—a process that varies among individuals. Retinyl palmitate, used in this supplement, is a retinol ester that is efficiently absorbed, making it an excellent choice for reliable vitamin A intake.

What Is Vitamin A?

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble nutrient essential for maintaining normal vision, supporting immune function, and promoting healthy skin. This Amazing Formulae supplement provides retinyl palmitate, a stable and bio-available form of preformed vitamin A. Adequate intake helps maintain sharp eyesight and a strong immune system.

Potential Side Effects and Safety

Excessive intake of preformed vitamin A can lead to hypervitaminosis A, causing symptoms like dizziness, nausea, and liver damage. Long-term intake above the UL should be avoided. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, those planning to become pregnant, or individuals on medications should consult a health-care professional before use. Keep out of reach of children. Always follow the recommended serving size.
