Is it safe to take 12mg astaxanthin along with 5000iu vit a daily?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: There is no known toxic dose of astaxanthin. There is also no toxic dose of beta carotene (which our bodies convert to Vit A as needed. It is wise to limit pre-formed Vit. A to 10,000 iu/day to avoid toxicity. It is perfectly safe to take 12 mg of astaxanthin with 5000 iu of Vit A.
