Carlson Vitamin A 25,000 IU, 250 Soft Gels

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble nutrient that your body requires for numerous vital processes, from vision to immune defence. As this essential vitamin cannot be synthesised internally, a reliable dietary source is crucial. Carlson’s Vitamin A supplement delivers 25,000 IU of natural retinol palmitate per soft gel — a potent dose to help maintain your daily nutritional status.

Understanding Vitamin A: Retinol or Beta-Carotene?

Vitamin A occurs in two principal dietary forms: preformed vitamin A (retinol and retinyl esters) from animal sources, and provitamin A carotenoids such as beta-carotene from plants. Carlson uses natural retinol palmitate, a highly bio-available form that your body can utilise directly. Unlike beta-carotene, which requires conversion, retinol is ready for immediate uses, making it an efficient option for those needing higher intakes.

Why Choose Carlson Vitamin A?

Carlson has been a trusted name in nutritional supplements since 1965. This vitamin A product is made with natural-source retinol palmitate in a soft gel form for optimal absorption. Every batch is tested for potency and purity. Free from artificial preservatives, gluten, and dairy, it offers a reliable choice for high-dose vitamin A support. Each bottle contains 250 soft gels, providing a convenient supply.

Key Benefits of Vitamin A Supplementation

Vitamin A contributes to several aspects of health when consumed as part of a balanced diet. Based on European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) approved claims, vitamin A contributes to:

• Maintenance of normal vision – Vitamin A is a component of rhodopsin, a protein in the eyes that helps you see in low light.
• Normal function of the immune system – It helps regulate the immune system and supports the body's natural defences.
• Maintenance of normal skin – Vitamin A aids in skin cell production and repair, which may help maintain a clear, healthy complexion.
• Maintenance of normal bones – Adequate vitamin A levels are associated with normal bone metabolism.

These health claims are authorised by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).

How Much Vitamin A Should You Take?

The UK Reference Nutrient Intake (RNI) for vitamin A is 700 mcg per day for men and 600 mcg for women. Carlson Vitamin A provides 25,000 IU (7,500 mcg RAE) per serving, which is well above the RNI and also exceeds the UK safe upper limit of 1,500 mcg retinol daily from supplements. Therefore, this high-dose product is intended for short-term uses only or under the supervision of a health care professional. Do not exceed the recommended dose without medical advice.

Safety Considerations and Precautions

Vitamin A is stored in the liver, and excessive intake over time can lead to toxicity. Symptoms of hypervitaminosis A include nausea, dizziness, skin changes, and liver damage. Pregnant women should not exceed the RNI due to risk of birth defects. If you are taking blood-thinning medication or have liver disease, consult your doctor before uses. Keep out of reach of children. This product is not intended for long-term daily uses without professional guidance.
