1voteA: The Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) for adults is 3,000 mcg RAE/day for preformed vitamin A from supplements and animal foods. At 2,400 mcg, this product is below the UL but represents a substantial dose. Most adults should not stack additional preformed vitamin A on top of this. Pregnant women must be especially careful — high preformed vitamin A is teratogenic — and should consult a provider before any vitamin A supplement.Posted by on Saturday, May 2, 2026

1voteA: Retinyl palmitate is preformed vitamin A — already in the active retinol form your body uses. Beta-carotene is provitamin A from plants that the body converts to retinol as needed. The body regulates beta-carotene conversion, so excess does not accumulate as toxicity. Preformed vitamin A like in this product can build up to toxic levels if overdosed. This product uses retinyl palmitate (preformed).Posted by on Saturday, May 2, 2026

1voteA: Vitamin A is fat-soluble — take with a meal that includes some dietary fat (eggs, avocado, olive oil, nuts, full-fat dairy) to maximize absorption. Splitting the dose with two different meals is fine but unnecessary at this dose level. Avoid taking with mineral oil or fat-blocker products like orlistat, which interfere with fat-soluble vitamin uptake.Posted by on Saturday, May 2, 2026
