How much vitamin A is too much?

0

Vitamin A is a fat soluble vitamin, which means that it is stored in fat, which also means that your can over dose on it much easier than say, a water soluble vitamin. Water soluble vitamins are excreted through urine if there is too much, but since fat soluble vitamins are stored in fat and not water, they stick around for a longer period of time. The upper limit for vitamin A is 10,000 IU. If you continually go above this level everyday, it could lead to a vitamin A toxicity. The RDA for women is only 2333 IU. Be especially careful if you a pregnant or breastfeeding.
