Quality Choice Vitamin A 3,000 mcg (10,000 IU) Softgels – 100 Softgels

Understanding Vitamin A

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that your body needs for several vital functions. It contributes to normal vision, helps the immune system work effectively, and supports the maintenance of healthy skin and mucous membranes. Because the body cannot make this nutrient, it must come from your diet or supplements. Quality Choice Vitamin A provides a reliable source of preformed vitamin A in the form of retinyl palmitate, which is readily used by the body.

Quality Choice Vitamin A: A Potent Source

Each soft gel capsule delivers 10,000 IU (3,000 mcg) of retinyl palmitate, a highly bio-available form of vitamin A. These easy-to-swallow softgels are gluten-free and free from common allergens such as magnesium, iron, berberine, zinc, salt, and butter. The 100-count bottle provides a three-month supply when taken as directed. For best absorption, take one soft gel capsule daily with a meal containing fat.

How Much Vitamin A Do You Need?

The Reference Nutrient Intake (RNI) for vitamin A in the UK is 700 mcg for adult men and 600 mcg for adult women. This supplement provides 3,000 mcg (10,000 IU), which is above the RNI but below the Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) of 10,000 IU for adults. Be mindful of your total intake from all sources, including food and other supplements. Chronic intake above the UL can lead to toxicity. Always consult a health care professional before starting any new supplement, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication.

Important Safety Advice

Because vitamin A is fat-soluble, excess amounts can build up in the body and cause adverse effects. Symptoms of hypervitaminosis A include dizziness, nausea, headaches, and skin irritation. Long-term overconsumption may lead to liver damage and bone abnormalities. To stay safe, do not exceed the recommended dose of one soft gel capsule daily with food. This product is not intended for children. Pregnant women should be especially cautious, as high doses of preformed vitamin A can cause birth defects. If you have any underlying health conditions, consult your doctor before uses.
