Carlson Vitamin A 25000 IU (7500 mcg RAE) Softgels – Immune Support and Vision Health

Why Choose Carlson Vitamin A?

Carlson Vitamin A provides a high-potency dose of preformed vitamin A (retinol) in a convenient softgel form. Derived from pure fish liver oil, each softgel delivers 25000 IU (7500 mcg RAE) to support your overall wellbeing. Whether you're looking to maintain your immune system, keep your eyes healthy, or promote skin integrity, this supplement is an excellent addition to your daily routine.

How Much Vitamin A Do You Need?

In the UK, the Reference Nutrient Intake (RNI) for vitamin A is 700 mcg RAE for adult men and 600 mcg RAE for adult women. Each softgel provides 7500 mcg RAE, which is higher than the RNI but below the European Food Safety Authority's Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) of 3000 mcg RAE per day from preformed vitamin A. It is important to consider your total intake from all sources, including multivitamins and fortified foods, to avoid exceeding the UL. Do not take this supplement alongside other high-dose vitamin A products without professional advice.

Vitamin A: Retinol vs. Beta-Carotene

This product contains preformed vitamin A (retinol) as retinyl palmitate. Retinol is directly usable by the body, whereas beta-carotene must be converted to retinol, a process that varies between individuals. For those seeking immediate vitamin A activity, retinol supplements are an efficient choice. Carlson use high-quality fish liver oil as the source, ensuring purity and potency.
