sowet,   I'm sorry I haven't been on here in awhile to update my progress. Here's how things are now. My lips still get chapped and scale over every 2 days. My face gets slightly flaky if you ...

I just thought i'd update: Since my vitamin a, zinc, and b5 overdose I have been doing incredibly bad. My skin is always dry/oily, I have what seems like bile deposits near the bridges of my nose, my...

No, it has remained pretty constant. Yes, it only occurs on my face. I'm wondering if I/we should at least be using soap on our faces like we do on the rest of our body. Just a quick, casual wash. I'm...

O.K. just wanted to post how I'm doing on here as kind of a way of making a journal entry. So I've read up as much as I can about vitamin a, previous toxicity cases, the liver and it's function, etc....

Here is a pic I took recently of the bottom of my feet (aka the thickest part of the skin on your body).....

I sincerely doubt just 8000 IU of retinol will cause hair loss. The extra zinc should provide protection against vitamin a toxicity, if you actually have it. Retinol is mostly toxic when it's unbounde...

Exactly 7 months today since I stopped taking vitamin a orally and I'm still experiencing slight side effects. I still have slight desquamation of my top layer of skin, dry lips, minimal hair loss an...

@ Gearhead   Are you taking any vitamins or supplements? What's the weather like where you are?

as a believer and a success story of this "regimen" (if u wanna call it that) i think i have a grasp on why this helps completely rid most people of their acne. this is mostly just a hypothesis that i...

@karmickandy   yea, i've looked around the web for some more research on the correlation of hypervitaminosis a and high zinc intake, but all i could find was that experts agree zinc is vital in v...

i read on this website (cant post link cuz mods will delete and/or ban me for a short-time) that it takes 200-300 days for the excess vitamin a to be used by my body..... i figured the RDA for vitami...

Why didn't you just go on accutane? my acne wasn't really bad at all, so a doctor would have never presribed it for me. i was dumb and naive and should have stopped as soon as i saw the symptoms ar...

Ok, there's some slight inaccuracies in this thread: a) when you stop taking vitamin A overdose the high level of vitamin A in your blood goes back to normal in under about a week, NOT months b) ho...

7Xican said: this is what I have been taking 3 softgels a day is this safe? i'm not a doctor so i cant really say. but for me and from my experience that would be too much....

Lol this post is exactly what happened to me exactly around the same time. I am 18 turning 19 and I am in that phase where i've stopped Vitamin A but I know its still in my body. My skin looks pretty ...

What brand of Vitamin A was you taking? Was it a derivative of fish oil? When you take Vitamin A you need to make sure it's from a natural source like fish oil. For most people the toxicity level of V...

^^^^^^^^^^ yes it was in synthetic form.

this worries me I've been taking 2400 I.U. daily...... I'm assuming that you're getting that amount from a multivitamin right? I wouldn't be too worried about that. I was taking around 12,000 fro...

the hair you lost has it began to grow back? good question. i should have clarified in the original post....my hair wasn't falling out in clumps or anything like that. like when i'd where a hat, onc...
