NOW Foods Vitamin A, 25000 IU from Fish Liver Oil, 250 Soft-gels (Multi-Pack)

For those seeking a high-potency vitamin A supplement, NOW Foods offers 25,000 IU of preformed retinol from fish liver oil in each soft gel capsule capsule. This formula is designed to support key bodily functions, but it is important to consider your individual needs before uses.

What is Vitamin A?

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that exists in two dietary forms: preformed vitamin A (retinol) from animal sources such as liver and fish, and provitamin A carotenoids (like beta-carotene) from plants. This supplement supplies retinol directly from fish liver oil, providing a highly bio-available source of active vitamin A. The body uses retinol efficiently without the need for conversion, making it a direct source for supporting various physiological functions.

Benefits of Vitamin A

Vitamin A is essential for the maintenance of the tissues that line the internal and external surfaces of the body, including the eyes, skin, respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, and urinary tract.* It also contributes to the normal function of the immune system and plays a key role in eye health, particularly in dim light vision.

• Immune Function: Supports the normal function of the immune system.*

How to Uses

Take one soft gel capsule daily with a meal, as directed by the manufacturer. Do not exceed the recommended dose. This high-strength supplement contains 25,000 IU of vitamin A per serving, which is above the UK Reference Nutrient Intake (RNI). It is therefore recommended for short-term uses or under the supervision of a health care professional.

Safety Information

High doses of preformed vitamin A can accumulate in the body and may lead to toxicity if taken over extended periods. Symptoms of vitamin A toxicity can include nausea, dizziness, headache, and skin changes. Pregnant women or those planning to become pregnant should consult their doctor before taking this product, as excessive vitamin A may harm the developing baby. If you have liver disease, take retinoid medications, or have any other health concerns, seek medical advice before uses. Always follow the recommended dosage and consider cycling this supplement under professional guidance.

This product is derived from fish liver oil and is therefore not suitable for vegans. The soft gel capsule capsule contains gelatine, a common ingredient in capsule manufacturing. For those seeking a plant-based alternative, look for supplements containing beta-carotene from natural sources.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I take this vitamin A supplement every day?

For most adults, daily uses of 25,000 IU of vitamin A should be limited to short periods, such as a few months, unless otherwise advised by a health care professional. To stay within safe limits, consider a lower maintenance dose after a short course. Always consult your GP if in doubt.

Is this product suitable for vegans?

No, because the vitamin A is derived from fish liver oil and the soft gel capsule capsule contains gelatine. Vegans and vegetarians should opt for plant-derived beta-carotene supplements instead.
