Why does this have a toxic amount of vitamin A in it? Women should not consume more than 10,000 IU of vitamin A per day. Why so much in this?

The Vitamin A in Blue Green Algae is not toxic. It is a Vitamin A precursor... Completely safe.

I honestly don't know, as I used my whole supply, but I do not think I saw these ingredients. Having said that, I believe this vitamin should be taken with a major multivitamin, not by itself. There's not enough in the vitamins (Alive) to sustain you.

Their AREDS line of products have one product w/o vitamin A and here is why (from mfg website) :"For patients seeking an AREDS-based formula but who should avoid beta-carotene, such as smokers."

This is really one of the best vitamin out there. I took it to my chiropractor he said it was one of the top. Would recommend it. You do need to take it twice a day. It's worth it.

I am not a Doctor; so this is my personal answer. I take 4 drops every day and have for over 10 years. According to the label the 2000 IU is 500% of the daily requirement. I do not get a lot of natural sunshine so I take more than the 1 drop. I have discussed this with my Doctor and we are in full agreement that is what I need. I would suggest you ask your Doctor before you decide what is the right amount for you.

If you go to endfatigue.com you will find a list of ingredients. It is a great product. If the product causes you to develope digestive distress, the recommendation is to cut back the amount you take. It caused me a bit of digestive distress in the beginning, but I also could tell my body was craving the vitamins. Eventually I cut back the amount I take per day and that has made all the difference.

I work in the nutrition field at BlackBoxUniversal.com and can say this... The Recommended levels of all water soluble vitamins and minerals is usually much lower than what you can safely take. Vitamin C for example, should be taken at much higher levels than recommended... 2000 mg a day, in my opinion. So in regard to Zinc and Mag, these are acceptable levels, especially since this is a supplement used for building muscle or to help eliminate anxiety.

I did not mention the percentage of retinol in my comment. I understood that over the counter retinol products cannot contain more than 5%.

It doesn't specified the amount of retinol as I had hope. But I just looked it up and retinol is a simplify form of Vitamin A of which this products states clearly in the front of having 1000,000 IU per ounce. There is 2oz. in the jar so I guess it has double the amount. I hope this helps. I really do like how soft and subtle this product makes my facial skin and even the rest of my body. I've only been using it almost a month and I don't have wrinkles for being a women near 50 to be able to tell if it helps reduce wrinkles. But I'm hoping it keeps them away longer now that I'm getting older. Good Luck!

Yes, it is very important to take 4000-6000 IU of vit D daily based on what my naturopath says and other sources. This one only has 270 IU per serving. I take the 5000 IU Vit D softgels by NOW.

I don't taste my vitamins because I swallow them. I never "tasted" anything with it. I take it with almond milk at night because prenatals give me nausea.

Here is some basic conversion based on info from wikipedia. For vitamin A, 1 IU is equivalent to 0.3 micrograms retinol. Therefore this one jar contains 200,000 IU equivalent to 0.06 g retinol in 56 g total weight, which is about 0.107% *Edited the calculation from comment from Greg.D.

I don't know about that because I am a naturally high energy person, but I believe the amount of vitamin-mineral support is so terrific for my immune system. I never get sick. The best part? I don't have a bunch of bottles of vitamin pills to take. I think this is a great purchase for health support.

I just looked at the Women's Daily Alive yesterday at Costco and found it did not have all the ingredients as the Ultra Potency has. I can't remember all the differences, but the percentages were lower and many missing. I take it for the vitamin B's which are way high over the daily recommended %. Someone else listed all the ingredients so I won't list them again.
