Klaire Labs SFI Health Vitamin A - High Potency 25000 IU (7,500 mcg RAE) from Fish Liver Oil, Preformed Retinol Form, 100 Softgels

Vitamin A Benefits

Vitamin A is essential for maintaining normal vision, supporting a healthy immune system, and promoting skin integrity. It plays a key role in the production of rhodopsin, a protein needed for low-light vision, and helps maintain the health of mucous membranes. Additionally, vitamin A supports cell turnover and collagen production, contributing to smooth, healthy skin. This high-potency supplement delivers preformed retinol, the most bio-available form, to help you meet your wellness goals.

What Is Vitamin A?

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble nutrient that exists in two primary forms: preformed retinol from animal sources like fish liver oil, and provitamin A carotenoids such as beta-carotene from plants. This supplement provides preformed retinol derived from high-quality fish liver oil, which is immediately active in the body and requires no conversion. Each soft gel capsule supplies 25,000 IU (7,500 mcg RAE) of vitamin A, making it a potent choice for those under professional guidance.

Types of Vitamin A: Retinol vs. Beta-Carotene

Preformed retinol, as in this product, is ready for uses by the body. In contrast, beta-carotene must be converted into retinol, a process that becomes less efficient with age or certain health conditions. Retinol is better absorbed when taken with dietary fat, and this lipid-based soft gel capsule enhances bioavailability. The 25,000 IU dose provides a substantial amount of retinol, suitable for short-term or targeted protocols under health care supervision.

How Much Vitamin A Do You Need?

The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for adults is 900 mcg RAE (3,000 IU) for men and 700 mcg RAE (2,333 IU) for women. This product provides 7,500 mcg RAE per soft gel capsule, well above the RDA. Such high-potency formulae are typically used for short-term or targeted protocols and should only be taken as directed by a health care practitioner. The Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) for preformed vitamin A is 3,000 mcg RAE (10,000 IU) per day; exceeding this long-term without medical supervision may increase toxicity risk.

Potential Side Effects and Safety

Because vitamin A is fat-soluble, it can accumulate in the body and cause toxicity if consumed in excessive amounts. Symptoms of acute overdose include headache, dizziness, and nausea; chronic overconsumption may lead to liver damage, bone loss, and birth defects. Do not exceed the recommended dose without medical advice. Pregnant women, nursing mothers, individuals with liver disease, and those on medications should consult their health care provider before taking high-dose vitamin A. Keep out of reach of children.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this vitamin A suitable for daily uses?

At 25,000 IU per soft gel capsule, this is a high-potency product. It should only be used under the supervision of a health care practitioner, who will determine appropriate dosage and duration based on your individual needs.

Can I take it with other supplements?

Yes, but be mindful of total vitamin A intake from all sources (including multivitamins, cod liver oil, and other supplements). Your health care provider can help you avoid exceeding safe levels.

What is the difference between IU and mcg RAE?

International Units (IU) measure biological activity. For preformed retinol, 1 IU = 0.3 mcg RAE (Retinol Activity Equivalent). Thus, 25,000 IU equals 7,500 mcg RAE. RAE accounts for the varying activity of different vitamin A forms.

Does this product contain common allergens?

It contains fish (Gadidae) and soya. It is free from milk, eggs, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, maize, and yeast. No artificial additives are included.
