A member asked:
My vitamin supplement has 12, 500iu of vitamin a. with 10, 000iu beta-carotene and 2, 500iu palmitate. is that a safe amount?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: One can safely take very large amounts of beta carotene as it is non-toxic. One can suffer adverse consequences by taking more than 10, 000 iu of the palmitate form a day though toxicity is rare unless one ingests at least 25, 000 iu.Day for several months so 2, 500 iu is quite safe.
