All about Hypervitaminosis A

Excuse the pun here but kindly be my admirable guest as I would to touch just a b it further on the topic that we mostly tend to overlook on as we perceive it isn’t that essential of you to know more of. And that subject matter at hand here is none other than the Hpervitaminosis A which refers to the effects of excessive vitamin A (specifically retinoid) intake and saddest part about such disease is the fact that many of us out there tend to overlook is that unknowingly are affected by it and don’t consult their GPs periodically which creates a room for the disease to appreciate unknowingly. With regards to that, Hypervitaminosis A occur when large amounts of liver are regularly consumed, most cases of vitamin A toxicity result from an excess intake of vitamin A in the form of vitamin supplements. Toxic symptoms can also arise after consuming very large amounts of preformed vitamin A over a short period of time. The U.S.Institute of Medicine says that the Lowest Observed Adverse Effect Level (LOAEL) for vitamin A, when taken over an extended period of time is 21,600 IU.

Most multivitamins contain vitamin A doses below 10,000 IU, therefore multi-vitamins are unlikely to cause vitamin A toxicity when taken at their recommended dosages. But in high doses, its central nervous system toxicity can be enhanced by its lipid solubility because it is readily transported across the blood brain barrier and concentrated in the brain. The visible signs that you will see when you are infected with it will be when you develop symptoms like nausea and vomiting, headache, dizziness, blurred vision, and loss of muscular coordination.

So if you know what’s best for your health needs, and then you better get hold of the required vitamins that will certify you stay at the peak of your health at all times. Do it now or else will be able to  suffer the consequences of Hypervitaminosis A severly!
