Just started taking Vitamin A 10,000 IU Capsules—anyone else taking these?
I recently started taking Vitamin A 10,000 IU capsules on the advice of my doctor. I've read that it's great for vision and skin health, but I'm a bit concerned about the potential side effects, especially since it's a fat-soluble vitamin. Has anyone else had experience with these? I'd love to hear about your experiences, both good and bad. Also, how do you know if you're taking too much? Any advice on managing side effects would be greatly appreciated!

Vitamin A is great, but it's not a magic cure. Make sure to maintain a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle as well.
I had to stop taking them because they gave me a rash. Turns out I was allergic. If you experience any unusual symptoms, stop immediately and talk to your doctor.
Be careful with the dosage. Too much Vitamin A can be dangerous, especially for women who are or may become pregnant.
Why are you taking such a high dose? 10,000 IU is a lot. Most people only need around 700-900 IU per day. Talk to your doctor if your doctor didn't advise on this already
I heard that taking too much can turn your skin orange. Anyone else hear about that?
Vitamin A toxicity is no joke. Make sure you're not taking other supplements that contain Vitamin A to avoid overdosing.
As long as you follow the dosage instructions, you should be fine. But yes, keep an eye out for any unusual symptoms.
Vitamin A is super important for eye health. Just make sure to monitor your intake and talk to your doctor regularly.
