Webber Naturals Vitamin A 10000 IU 110 Softgels is a high potency vitamin A supplement.
Benefits:
- Supports healthy vision and eye function, including night vision
- Supports immune system function
- Promotes healthy epithelial tissues (skin and mucous membranes)
Considerations:
- High Dose: 10,000 IU is a very high dose of vitamin A, exceeding the recommended daily intake for most adults (700 IU for women, 900 IU for men).
- Potential for Toxicity: Excessive vitamin A intake can be toxic and lead to side effects like nausea, vomiting, headaches, liver damage, and birth defects (if pregnant).
- Not Necessary for Balanced Diet: Healthy adults following a balanced diet that includes fruits, vegetables, and animal products can typically meet their vitamin A needs without supplementation.
Recommendations:
- Consult Your Doctor Before Use: Discuss Webber Naturals Vitamin A 10000 IU with your doctor before taking it, especially if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have any underlying health conditions (liver disease), or take other medications.
- Lower Dose or Food Sources: Your doctor might recommend a lower dose supplement (around 2,500 IU) or suggest focusing on incorporating vitamin A-rich foods into your diet (carrots, sweet potatoes, leafy green vegetables, fatty fish).
- Avoid if Pregnant: High doses of vitamin A can be teratogenic (cause birth defects) and are contraindicated during pregnancy.
- Follow Dosage Instructions (if applicable): If your doctor recommends this supplement for a specific reason, follow the recommended dosage carefully. Don't exceed the recommended intake without consulting your doctor.
Additional Information:
- Look for the Canadian Health Food Association (CHFA) logo on the label for quality assurance.
- Store the product according to the label instructions (usually with light and moisture protection).
