Guest guest Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Don't take Vitamin A unless you take Vitamin D also. They are needed together for balance. (And conversely, don't take Vit D without Vit A.) You will end up with deficiencies if you take one without the other. Many times they come together, as in from cod liver oil, or cod liver oil directly.
