Re: HIGH DOSE VITAMIN A -- Should I keep it up?

[Guest guest]

25,000 IU of Vitamin A from CLO probably gives you too much Vitamin D.

I'm sure this sounds ignorant -- but what's the harm of too much vitamin A?

I meant Vitamin D?

It was in the news last 2 yrs that a kid in HongKong who consume too much

Cod Liver Oil lead to kidney failure, too much Vit A, lead to kidney

failure.

Here are some links to Vitamin D information. You might check to

see how much Vitamin D your 25000 IU of CLO gives and compare that

to the recommended upper limit for children. I know that if I gave

my little guy 25000 IU of A from his CLO he would get 2500 IU of D,

which is above the upper limit (per Wikipedia) for children.

Considering that we also get D from other sources.....

If you want to run A at 25000IU, which depending on you child's

weight, is possibly a very good idea, you might look to some other

form of A to supplement a reduced amount of CLO.

I would not give more than 10,000 IU of vitamin A as CLO.

Try experimenting with the dose. Watch for signs of toxicity
