What Is Vitamin A & D?

This supplement delivers two essential fat-soluble vitamins in one convenient soft gel capsule. Each serving provides 25,000 IU (7,500 mcg RAE) of vitamin A (as retinyl palmitate from fish liver oil) and 1,000 IU (25 mcg) of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). These vitamins work together to regulate calcium metabolism, making this formula a solid choice for those aiming to boost their nutrient intake.

How Much Vitamin A and D Do You Need?

The Reference Nutrient Intake (RNI) for vitamin A is 700 mcg for men and 600 mcg for women in the UK. For vitamin D, the UK government recommends 10 mcg (400 IU) per day for most adults, with higher intakes sometimes required for at-risk groups. This product provides 7,500 mcg RAE of vitamin A and 25 mcg of vitamin D3 per soft gel capsule. The UK safe upper level for preformed vitamin A from supplements is 1,500 mcg per day; for vitamin D it is 100 mcg (4,000 IU) per day. Do not exceed these levels without medical supervision. The high vitamin A dose in this supplement is intended for short-term or therapeutic uses under professional guidance.

Vitamin A: Retinol vs. Beta-Carotene

Vitamin A occurs in two primary forms: preformed vitamin A (retinol) and provitamin A carotenoids such as beta-carotene. Retinol, found in animal sources and most supplements, is directly usable by the body. Beta-carotene must be converted, which can be inefficient for some individuals. This product uses preformed vitamin A (as retinyl palmitate, sourced from fish liver oil) for maximum bioavailability.

Potential Side Effects and Safety

Because vitamin A is fat-soluble and stored in the body, excessive intake can lead to toxicity. Symptoms include nausea, headache, dizziness and liver damage. Vitamin D toxicity is rare but can cause hypercalcaemia. Pregnant women should take no more than 3,000 mcg RAE of vitamin A daily from supplements. Always consult your health care provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you are pregnant, nursing or taking medication.
