NF (Natural Factors) Vitamin A 10,000 IU is a high-potency dietary supplement designed to support healthy vision, immune function, and skin integrity. Sourced from molecularly distilled fish liver oil, this 180-softgel value pack provides essential preformed vitamin A for daily wellness
Product Specification
- Potency: 10,000 IU (3,000 mcg RAE) of Vitamin A per softgel.
- Source: Derived from natural fish liver oil (such as cod) and molecularly distilled to ensure purity from heavy metals.
- Active Form: Vitamin A as Retinyl Palmitate.
- Other Ingredients: Softgel (gelatin, glycerin, purified water), organic flaxseed oil, and vitamin E to maintain freshness.
- Allergen Info: Usually free of dairy, sugar, wheat, gluten, artificial colors, or preservatives. Check specific retailer or brand labels if you have severe soy or fish allergies, as some formulas contain these.
How to Use
- Standard Dose: Take 1 softgel daily, preferably with a meal, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner.
- Tip: Because Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin, taking it with foods that contain healthy fats (like a meal) can improve your body's absorption.
- Storage: Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep out of the reach of children.
Precautions & Disclaimer
- Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Do not take high-dose vitamin A supplements (like 10,000 IU) if you are pregnant, nursing, or attempting to conceive without strict medical guidance. High doses of preformed vitamin A are linked to serious birth defects.
- Toxicity Risk: The recommended tolerable upper intake level (UL) for Vitamin A in adults is 10,000 IU per day. Exceeding this amount over extended periods can lead to vitamin A toxicity (hypervitaminosis A), causing liver damage, hair loss, dry skin, and bone weakening.
- Dietary Check: Account for the vitamin A you already consume through fortified foods or a multivitamin to avoid exceeding your daily limit.
- Medication Interactions: Use caution and consult a doctor if you take antibiotics, blood thinners like Warfarin, or acne medications containing retinoids.
