Vitamin A
« on: June 13, 2016, 02:56:21 am »
Pretty neat. An entire book on retinol/Vitamin A.

Also available on Google Books.

I recently started experimenting with Vitamin A in 'larger than normal' amounts.

I noticed in Europe they tend to ingest quite a bit of Vitamin A, while simultaneously having somewhere lower Vitamin D levels, improving their Vitamin A:D ratio. They also tend to be healthier than much of the rest of the world, so I thought I'd experiment with more Vitamin A.

Of course still pastured foods, but I added liver.

I don't do well with vitamin A supplementation, but I do well with vitamin D. Your results may vary.

I'm a sceptic as regards vitamin-/mineral-supplementation. They never worked for me at all. I would recommend your looking at this website to avoid any possible issues in the future:-

Where are you getting your vitamin A and D?

Which foods?  How much sun?

I personally don't do well with Vitamin A supplementation either. FCLO is ok. But I've noticed best results from ingesting pastured liver. It's absolutely amazing. I've been striving to eat 2 or 3 servings of 8 ounces each week.

I also take Vitamin D and get sun somewhat frequently. I take about 5,000-10,000 IU of Vitamin D from supplements, and occaisonally get sun (maybe 2-3 times a week, not much, but accordingly to Dr. Hollick's recommendations for sensible sun exposure).

Of course. I agree, food is always the best source of nutrients.

I prefer my Vitamin A from liver (of course grass fed). I've been getting beef liver, and I've been eating about 2-3 servings a week of 6-8 ounces. I also take FCLO, maybe a teaspoon a day, some days I skip. Not exact amounts. More just on a 'how I feel' basis.'

I take a Vitamin D3 supplement, 5,000-10,000 IU daily, and I get maybe 5-10 minutes of full body sun exposure 3x a week around noon.
