What to know
Adults need 700 to 900 mcg of vitamin A a day, which most diets supply. 10,000 IU is 3,000 mcg, which equals the adult upper level in the Australian and New Zealand Nutrient Reference Values before you count food. Preformed vitamin A is stored in the liver and builds up, so daily use at this strength is not advised without a doctor's guidance. Cod liver oil supplies less vitamin A per softgel, so check its label.
Who should check first
- Pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding: do not use them. Too much vitamin A in pregnancy can cause birth defects.
- Taking isotretinoin or another retinoid: do not use them.
- Liver conditions: do not use without your doctor's advice.
- Fish allergy: cod liver oil is not suitable.
- Taking a multivitamin: do not double up on vitamin A.
