Chronic overdose.
Listen up, because people need to stop treating supplements like candy. If you go overboard with Vitamin A for too long, youβre asking for a world of hurt. We're talking hypervitaminosis A, and it's nasty. You start feeling exhausted, irritable, and lose your appetite. Your weight drops, you're puking, and your whole digestive system goes haywire. Then comes the fever, liver and spleen swelling, skin issues, hair loss, and lips that are so dry they actually crack and bleed. It doesn't stop thereβyou could deal with anemia, killer headaches, high calcium levels, even seizures. And don't get me started on the bone and joint pain and swelling. It gets even scarier with kids. You can get increased intracranial pressure, vision problems, ringing in the ears, and painful swelling along their bones. Worst of all? It can cause premature closure of the growth plates, which means it can literally stunt a child's growth. Don't be reckless.
Acute overdose. This is serious stuff.
One single dose of 1,000,000 IU or more can trigger an acute overdose. Weβre talking serious stuff here: heavy sedation, dizziness, double vision, and killer headaches. You could also deal with nausea, vomiting, skin flushing, itching, or even peeling skin. Don't mess around with this.
And this guy?
Natural wealth. Thereβs 10,000 IU in one capsule. Thatβs way more than the daily dose listed on the manufacturer's website. Seriously? π )
