How much Vitamin A, in a day, is considered toxic?

rambo asked:


I heard that Vitamin A toxicity can occur at doses of 15000 IU in a day? Just curious, how many percent of the recommended daily intake is that? An 8 ounce glass of carrot juice contains about 630% of the recommended daily intake, is this over 15000 IU? Is there an equation to convert IU to the percentage? What is IU in general?

Thanks for your time!

Steve

yes hun that is quite much you shouldn’t takemore then 10,000 IU thats the actual limit of vitamin A 5,000 IU is even enough but you don’t want to over do it… you will feel sick and body will change alot from over doing it
