Together, they help regulate calcium metabolism, making this formula a solid choice for overall wellbeing.

• May support healthy vision and skin

Each softgel is tested by an independent laboratory for potency and quality, so you can trust what you're taking. Always read the label and follow directions for use.

How Much Vitamin A and D Do You Need?

The recommended dietary intake (RDI) for vitamin A is 900 mcg RAE for adult men and 700 mcg RAE for women. For vitamin D, the RDI is 600–800 IU per day for most adults, though some may need higher amounts. This supplement provides 7,500 mcg RAE of vitamin A and 1,000 IU of vitamin D3 per serving. The upper limit for preformed vitamin A is 3,000 mcg RAE per day; for vitamin D, it is 4,000 IU per day. Do not exceed these levels without medical advise.

What Is Vitamin A & D?

This Carlson supplement combines two fat-soluble vitamins in a single softgel. Vitamin A is provided as retinyl palmitate from fish liver oil—a form your body can use straight away, unlike beta-carotene which needs conversion. Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is also sourced from fish liver oil, ensuring high bioavailability. The duo works synergistically to support calcium metabolism and maintain healthy bones.

Vitamin A: Retinol vs. Beta-Carotene

Vitamin A comes in two forms: preformed vitamin A (retinol) and provitamin A carotenoids like beta-carotene. Retinol is directly usable by the body, whereas beta-carotene must be converted—a process that can be inefficient for some. This product uses preformed vitamin A (as retinyl palmitate) from fish liver oil for maximum bioavailability.

Potential Side Effects and Safety

Because vitamin A is fat-soluble and stored in the body, excessive intake can lead to toxicity. Symptoms include nausea, headache, dizziness and liver damage. Vitamin D toxicity is rare but can cause hypercalcaemia. Pregnant women should not exceed 3,000 mcg RAE of vitamin A daily. Always consult your healthcare professional before starting any new supplement, especially if you are pregnant, nursing or on medication.
