Hi, I'm back!! I have had my vitamins today!

Todays discussion: Vitamin A...do you get enough? and the benifits.....

Vitamin A for Vibrant Eyes & Skin, and Immune Health
Vitamin A is essential for healthy vision, bone growth, cell reproduction and immune function. According to the National Institutes of Health, vitamin A also encourages healthy surface linings of the urinary, respiratory and intestinal tracts.

In addition to promoting good health from within, vitamin A can also help you look as good as you feel! Vitamin A is necessary for the maintenance and repair of skin tissue. It contributes to rejuvenation of the skin by encouraging cell turnover, resulting in a smooth and radiant complexion. Vitamin A also helps with the maintenance of healthy, strong and shiny hair.

Good dietary sources of vitamin A include liver, fish oil, whole milk, milk products, egg yolks, and richly colored fruits and vegetables, such as cantaloupe, sweet potatoes, carrots, kale and spinach.

Be sure that you get the most from this nutritional powerhouse by taking daily vitamin A supplements to complement your diet.

Warning!!! You can overdose on Vitamin A!!!!!

How to use Vitamin A Oral
**Take this vitamin by mouth, usually once daily or exactly as directed by your doctor. **

If you are using a liquid form, carefully measure your prescribed dose using a medication-measuring device or spoon. Do not use a household spoon because you may not get the correct dose. If your liquid form is a suspension, shake the bottle well before each dose.

Dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment.

Use this vitamin regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time each day. Do not take more of this vitamin than prescribed because too much of it can cause serious side effects (e.g., liver damage).

Sheryl, Thanks for the information!  and yes, I took my vitamins today and my surgeon actually is having me cut back on my B-1 and B-12, since my 9 month labwork came back good and the b's were on the high side. . . Take care, Laureen
