• If you are pregnant, or considering becoming pregnant, do not take vitamin A supplements without consulting your healthcare professional.
• The recommended daily amount of vitamin A from all sources is 700mcg retinol equivalents for women and 900mcg retinol equivalents for men. When taken in excess of 3000mcg retinol equivalents, vitamin A can cause birth defects.
