As the title says: i have yellow hands and feet!! Wtf?

 

I have no idea what caused it. I've been on a very healthy diet, where i only eat meat, vegetables, fruits and seed. I've also been taking some supplements: magnesium, zinc, d3, C and vitamin A(betacaroteen).

 

Any idea someone, because i'm clueless..

I've gone through long periods in which I ate a sweet potato every day and always eat lots of greens, plus a partial dose of a multi that has quite a bit of beta carotene. Had tons of carrots all spring from the urban farm I volunteer at. Never changed my skin tone. And I think a bit of a 'golden' hue would be a good thing.

I don't know if that's a sign of my ability to convert the beta carotene to retinoids in the skin, or lack of ability. Should look into how that works.
