Question:
Is afaxin Vit. A 50,000 IU safe to use daily?
I'm forty years old and concerned about wrinkles and dry skin.
Answers:
Vit. A is listed as a fat soluble vitamin which means it is stored in the bodies fat and can not be easily removed if it reaches toxic levels.
this is a clipping from an article you might want to read
*** toxicity has occurred in some people taking mega doses of the retinol form of Vitamin A. There have not been any reports of toxicity from beta-carotene, despite sustained doses of 500,000 IU daily! Retinol, on the other hand, can produce toxic symptoms in levels exceeding 15,000 IU per day. Warnings of VitaminA toxicity rarely make this distinction.
