Benefits of Vitamin A and Vitamin D

Vitamin A contributes to the maintenance of normal vision, the maintenance of normal skin, and the normal functioning of the immune system. For its part, vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus, the maintenance of normal bones, and the normal functioning of the immune system. Together, these fat-soluble vitamins work synergistically to support calcium metabolism and promote overall health.

How much Vitamin A and D do I need?

The recommended daily allowances (RDAs) for adults are 800 mcg RAE of vitamin A and 5 mcg (200 IU) of vitamin D, although needs may vary depending on age, sex, and sun exposure. This product provides 7,500 mcg RAE of vitamin A (more than 9 times the RDA) and 25 mcg (1,000 IU) of vitamin D (5 times the RDA). Due to its high concentration, it is indicated for people with increased needs or under professional supervision.

Why choose Carlson A and D?

Carlson is a brand recognized for its dedication to quality and purity. These softgels are easy to swallow and are made without preservatives or artificial additives. Vitamin A is presented as retinyl palmitate, a preformed form with high bioavailability, and vitamin D as cholecalciferol (D3), the most active and natural form.

Is this dose safe?

The dose of vitamin A in this product exceeds the tolerable upper limit (3,000 mcg RAE/day for adults). Therefore, it is essential not to exceed the recommended dose and to consult a healthcare professional before use, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication. Vitamin D in this amount is safe for most adults, but medical supervision is always advisable in case of prolonged treatments.

Can I take this supplement with others containing vitamin A or D?

You should review your total intake of vitamins A and D from all supplements and fortified foods to avoid exceeding the established upper limits. Consult your doctor to avoid excesses.
