A member asked:
Is vitamin a of 5000iu in a multivitamin considered a lot? and any side effect from that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO, very safe: By definition Vit A is essential for health. It's very safe though there can be adverse effects from too much. Most multivits have Vit A as Beta-carotene, which is very safe and is non-toxic in any dose. It's wise to not take more than 10,000 iu of pre-formed Vit A a day long-term so 5000 iu is a safe dose even if pre-formed. See https://tinyurl.com/h3ayqbj and https://draxe.com/vitamin-a/
