Is vitamin A toxicity of concern for children, who receive both Sprinkles (containing vitamin A) and high dose vitamin A capsules twice yearly?
There is no risk of toxicity. Sprinkles containing vitamin A is formulated to help children meet their daily vitamin A requirement (the Recommended Daily Allowance or RDA). It is safe to use the two supplements together because Sprinkles use is complementary to high dose vitamin A capsules and not competitive. With the distribution of high dose capsules, the WHO recommends an age-appropriate diet which would contain all micronutrients, including vitamin A.
