D (4,000 IU) because of the cod liver oil? Is shark liver oil as toxic as cod liver oil? Also, Is Nature's Life Vit. D (2,000 IU) a good Vit.

As you read from the post Vitamin A acts as a Vitamin D antagonist. However, beta carotene from vegetables or supplements is converted by the body to Vitamin A as needed.<BR/><BR/>If your eating a healthy diet, with a good supplement program, getting adequate physical activity, and keeping your sugars in check this would more than compensate for the minimal benefits you would gain from supplemental Vitamin A. <BR/><BR/>A lot of vitamins have redundant functions, meaning that the body can use other nutrients/vitamins to take the place of a missing nutrient. But doesn't like anything can replace the striking benefits of Vitamin D...amazing!Nealhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13628352624184124778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19598651.post-58262468265326327652008-10-03T15:11:00.000-07:002008-10-03T15:11:00.000-07:00We use a Multi Vitamin (Twin Lab, Daily One Caps) that has 6,000 I.U. Vit. A from retinyl palmitate and 4,000 I.U. from beta carotene. Does this mean we should stop using this multi vitamin because of the retinyl palmitate? Is retinyl palmitate bad for both children and adults?Suziehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06219938611976198785noreply@blogger.com
