Retinoic acid is Vit A (but not from a beta carotene supp).

Hypothyroid pts don't do much with beta carotene supps, we've

been thru that before on this group, search archives.

Metagenics has a very bad tasting, very intense, strong, potent,

water soluable Vit A in a dropper bottle.

This is what I'd use if someone

had a very serious med problem. Twinlabs makes a dry Vit A

called " Allergy A " and " Allergy A and D " . And there are fish oil

derived Vit A, which can be alternated with the Twinlabs dry A,

to cover the bases.

It's an open question for me how much beta carotene from foods

hypoT pts absorb and are able to utilize,

but I know that I feel much better eating

lots of raw COLORFUL veg in the warm weather months, and steamed

in cold weather months. There are probably *various uses* for

the carotenes in foods, antioxidation and such,

so are excellent on general principles, JOY of nature's bounty!

Feliz Ano Nuevo,
