Guest guest Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 One more thought, you would want to treat any presenting iron deficiency concurrently to vitamin A deficiency...they are inter-related. Jeanne Blankenship, MS RD Sacramento, CA -------------- Original message from ODonnell <jlod2@...>: -------------- Hi All, I have a pt that is on vitamin A supplementation, her levels came back slightly low:306. I had her on 10,000 IU's for about 3 months, brought it back up, she went off of it and then it dropped again. She recently purchased a mvi which as 3500 IU's vitamin A along with a 8000 IU vitamin tablet. My question is, will this be too much? I know vitamin A can be toxic if consumed in large amounts but since she had a malabsorptive surgery, can she have a little more? If any of you could get back to me that would be great. I have always been taught that 10,000 IU's is the upper limit. Thank you, O'Donnell RD, LD Looking for a deal? Find great prices on flights and hotels with FareChase.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Jeanne, I am currently trying to convince my surgeons to add vit A to our list of labs. We see a fair number of iron deficiencies. - Are you saying that this could this be related to a vit A deficiency? If you have any articles handy that support this, it would be greatly appreciated!

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Some docs recommend 10,000 IU daily for proximal/medial RNY pts. and 20,000 IU daily for distal RNY pts. Should be dry (water soluble) Vitamin A. Retinol, not beta-carotene. DRIs are established for healthy people (i.e., those with a normal GI tract).

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Here's an alternate approach: As the mom, eat a diet rich in tender greens, fruits, and vegetables, uncooked to whatever extent you are willing. Then breastfeed the baby. Supplements always indicate a broken diet. Fix the diet, the problem, don't patch the symptom. Of course, that may take more effort on your part, but then you volunteered to be a parent, I imagine. It's a big job, let's do it!

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 No I don't think it will fix it. RT3 issues are an issue of the body producing too much T3 and that is due to liver toxicity, stress and poor diet. Check out www.liverdoctor.com This is the diet that Dr. Brownstein uses for his patients for RT3 issues. Steph Re: vitamin a i am wondering if you think that iodine will help with an RT3 issue...one of my hashi daughters is struggling with it...she is on 3.25 grains of NT does iodine protocol atp cofactors dmg etc..has been doing this for about 5 months but her RT3 is still high...her basal body temps stay low..never above 97.2...she does not seem to be ovulating cause there is never a rise in temp mid cycle...her cycles are short about 21 days...i have told her to keep on doing iron to raise ferritin which was 30 or so when last tested 4 months ago...and she has increased b12 and other b's...she is due to see doctor this week and i am wondering if we should address the rt3 thing...her FT3 is high and so is her FT4 but she is still hypo with low body temp and weight gain...any ideas...ever see anyone reverse a problem with RT3 doing iodine protocol and not taking HC...i am waiting on her salivary cortisol test to see where she is on that..is there anything else i should look at..wish i had done the cortisol testing long time ago.

Steph vitamin A OK, so I was all ready to click the "buy now" button for the Kroeger Sunny A and I decided to email Kroeger Herbs and clarify that it does not contain soy. Their reply follows. Kroeger Herbs replied:The Sunny A has beta carotene, which contains soy.Please let us know if you have any other questions.Sincerely,The KHP StaffDoes beta carotene come from soy?

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 There are a lot of products “derived” from soy and beta carotene is one as is Vitamin A, some Vitamin E, etc. This can be done in a way in which the negative effects of soy are not included. For instance all USP progesterone is derived either from the Mexican Wild Yam Root (not extract) or the Soy Plant. They both make IDENTICAL USP progesterone. No difference. However, convincing people of this is difficult, at best. I don’t know much about Kroeger Herbs (I do know about Hanna Kroeger) or their purity. According to one source: Soybean oil is used as a stable carrier for many products. It is an excellent inert carrier (I don’t think that any ingredient is “inert”). Most soy allergies are actually allergies to the soy " protein. " Soybean oil does not contain soy protein. The next question to ask about the soybean oil is if it is genetically modified. In 1995 Monsanto introduced Roundup Ready soybeans that have been genetically modified to be resistant to the herbicide Roundup. In 1997, about 8% of all soybeans cultivated for the commercial market in the United States were genetically modified. In 2006, the figure was 89%. There is a lot of information flying around about the safety of soy, but not many make the distinction between soy oil and soybean protein.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Dr. Lanphier, Are you then of the opinion that if a vitamin/supplement contains soybean oil from a non genetically modified source that it would be safe for someone with a diseased thyroid to consume?
