Guest guest Posted April 30, 2003 Report Share Posted April 30, 2003 Their hysteria about excess vit A is way overlown and meant as scare tactics It's funny that you mention this. While I was pregnant with Liam, I was sick. I wanted to take my Vit. C and my Vit A & D (because it has been my experience that I am better faster with 3 days of megadosing these 2). My OB told me that Vitamin A is toxic in large doses, but he couldn't tell me what was considered too much. I only ended up taking the normal dosage, but knew that it would take forever to get over it. I filled the prescription he gave me and took one days worth. There's just something about inviting a yeast infection that does nothing for me LOL ...... so, I was just sick for about 2 weeks waiting for my body to kill off the sinus infection, when if I do the vitamins, I can be totally better on the 3rd day. So, now ....... is Vitamin A toxic? Is it excreted through breastmilk in mass quantities (I'm working on a sinus infection and would really like to take the vitamins, but I'm nursing and don't want to pass on too much of something.... fwiw, the baby has the same green congestion <sigh>) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 30, 2003 Report Share Posted April 30, 2003 Vitamin A does have toxicity. The range for a toxic adult for adults is estimated as 50,000 to 200,000 IU per day depending on who you talk to. Beta carotene, however, a precursor of Vitamin A has no toxicity. Staying below these dosage ranges should be fine for nursing.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2003 Report Share Posted April 30, 2003 estimated as 50,000 to 200,000 excellent, thank you so much. When I am really sick, I still only take 40,000 U of Vitamin A and for only 3 days then if I'm not 100% (which I have only not been one time) I just go back to whatever is on the bottle.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2003 Report Share Posted June 1, 2003 Hi , The discussion was concerning vitamin A. (The mom put vitamin E by mistake but meant to say vitamin A) Here is an archive of the message -however in short -there is no vitamin A in ProEFA, Efalex - or any other fish oil not made from the liver of the fish (like cod liver oil) where vitamin A is found naturally. Here is a brief cut from an archived message about this: " Yes you do have to be careful not to consume high levels of vitamin A when pregnant - or ever. At very high doses -it can be toxic. There is however no vitamin A in fish oil that is not made from the liver of the fish -which are lots of the oils out there including plain old Efalex, ProEFA, and EyeQ. Not saying you can't buy Efanatal -but I can tell you I tried that one with Tanner and didn't find it to be as effective back then as the Efalex (this is when he was three of course -I unfortunately didn't know about this when I was pregnant) We've gone into this many times before -I know however there are lots of new people here -so here it is again. The only fish oil that would have vitamin A in it would be from those fish oils made from the liver of the fish -such as cod liver oil. Vitamin A is naturally found in the liver. Fish oils made from other areas of the fish outside of the liver do not contain vitamin A. Most of us in this group use Efalex, ProEFA, or Eye Q and none of them are made from the liver as far as I know. If you are not sure -check the label and it will say if vitamin A is there. Even then -there is a safe dosage of vitamin A -here is a page just in case you want to supplement yourself while pregnant with vitamin A, or your child's MD wants you to supplement your child with vitamin A (some do) http://www.cc.nih.gov/ccc/supplements/vita.html#what I wouldn't go overboard -but appears like most of us are nervous enough about vitamin A that just the opposite is a concern for infants -we don't get enough vitamin A in our diets!: " There is insufficient information to establish a RDA for vitamin A for infants. An adequate intake (AI) has been established that is based on the amount of vitamin A consumed by healthy infants who are fed breast milk (21). Age (months) Males and Females 0 to 6400 ug or 1330 IU 7 to 12500 ug or 1665 IU Results of two national surveys, the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III 1988-91) (1, 21) and the Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals (CSFII 1994) (1, 22) suggested that the dietary intake of some Americans does not meet recommended levels for vitamin A. These surveys highlight the importance of encouraging all Americans to include dietary sources of vitamin A in their daily diets.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2003 Report Share Posted June 1, 2003 Hi ! I wasn't sure either at first -thought there was some new information so I did look into it. The average dosage of vitamin E supplement sold is 400 IUs, some take much higher dosages. To put this in perspective - one capsule of (for example ProEFA since that's the one I have in my house) EFAs has eight (8) IUs -about 392IUs less than what most people take in a vitamin E supplement capsule. There really is in most cases no danger reported even at high dosages except in rare situations as you will see below. Even to take a " normal " 400 IU dosage of vitamin E -you would have to swallow about 50 fish oil capsules -so if there was any danger -it would be drowning in the amount of water you would have to swallow to take all those capsules! (As I said though -the mom said it was a mistake -she meant A not E -and A would only apply to fish oil made from the liver of the fish) Here is the cut archive from the message I sent out once I looked into this: " I searched and found " Vitamin E, one of the most important lipid- soluble antioxidant nutrients, is found in nut oils, sunflower seeds, whole grains, wheat germ, and spinach. Severe deficiency, as may occur in persons with abetalipoproteinemia or fat malabsorption, profoundly affects the central nervous system and can cause ataxia and a peripheral neuropathy resembling Friedreich ataxia. Patients receiving large doses of vitamin E may experience a halt in progression of the disease. " http://www.emedicine.com/med/topic2383.htm I looked for toxic dosages of Vitamin E and found that It's " relatively nontoxic, even in massive doses " http://www.emedicine.com/med/topic2384.htm This page also states " Safety for use during pregnancy has not been established. " even though wholehealthMD states that " No problems are expected with recommended doses " Most take 400 IUs of Vitamin E in a supplement. With fish oil -in one capsule you get about eight (8) IUs -that's it. How much lower would you consider safe? Here is what the NIH has to say about the " health risk " of too much Vitamin E " What is the health risk of too much vitamin E? The health risk of too much vitamin E is low (23). A recent review of the safety of vitamin E in the elderly indicated that taking vitamin E supplements for up to four months at doses of 530 mg or 800 IU (35 times the current RDA) had no significant effect on general health, body weight, levels of body proteins, lipid levels, liver or kidney function, thyroid hormones, amount or kinds of blood cells, and bleeding time (24). Even though this study provides evidence that taking a vitamin E supplement containing 530 mg or 800 IU for four months is safe, the long term safety of vitamin E supplementation has not been tested. The Institute of Medicine has set an upper tolerable intake level for vitamin E at 1,000 mg (1,500 IU) for any form of supplementary alpha-tocopherol per day because the nutrient can act as an anticoagulant and increase the risk of bleeding problems. Upper tolerable intake levels " represent the maximum intake of a nutrient that is likely to pose no risk of adverse health effects in almost all individuals in the general population " (5). " http://www.cc.nih.gov/ccc/supplements/vite.html#risk So again -with one capsule of " normal " fish oil a day like ProEFA - most of us would consume 8 IUs of Vitamin E -which is 27% of the daily value of Vitamin E we are supposed to consume. If there is a toxic amount of Vitamin E it's high and rare. " The oral median lethal dose found in several species is 2 g/kg, and adverse effects usually are observed at doses greater than 1 g/kg, which is equivalent to 200-500 mg/kg in humans. However, vitamin E has been shown to have few adverse effects, even at high dosages (up to 3200 mg/d). Most deleterious effects have been observed in small studies and in case reports. " http://www.emedicine.com/med/topic2384.htm On the other hand...we all know the risks of not having enough EFA in the body far outweigh the " risk " that consuming 27% of the daily allowance of Vitamin E puts us in. I smell a T shirt slogan " Danger...I'm pregnant...Do not feed me anything else healthy today! " (I'm taking a fish oil supplement that has already supplied the massive 27% of my daily allowance of Vitamin E which at dosages one thousand times as high may not be toxic -but may be in the rare situation that I go through a sex change operation and take up smoking which at this point in time I'm seriously considering ) " ===== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 That's not true. You can overdo it on the vitamin supplements. For instance, too much calcium can cause kidney stones, and there are a bunch of others that I can't remember off hand. I think I'd ask a doctor or at least do some research before adding too many supplements. Sometimes more is just more. > > >Does everyone here take vitamins daily?

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 Some vitamins are water soluable. For those, whatever your body doesn't need it will just mostly flush the rest. Big example of this is Vit. C. That's why many people take a time release C. Taking 2000 mg of C can be just silly because most will just end up in the toilet, thus the neon pee. Other vitamins are fat soluable. They don't flush out as readily. Yes, you can OD on things, but that's true of anything in this world. For example, too many frappucinos = one really huge butt.

Yes, for water soluble vitamins like B and C. For fat soluble vitamins, A, D, E & K, they do not get flushed but I believe stored in the liver. Altho someone correct me if I'm wrong here it's been 15 years since I graduated from college <G>. That being said, you would really have to over-megadose to get serious side effects.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 I take Women's One a Day when I remember to do it. That usually coincides with times I'm controlling my eating. I started again today. When I popped Ibuprofen for my ankle it reminded me to take a vitamin. I don't feel any different when I take it. I just see it as a little insurance that my body is getting what it needs. When the kids catch colds and I feel one trying to get me I usually take vitamin C and echinacea. A recent study suggested that echinacea's benefits are questionable though. My sister's doctor recommended echinacea to her since she used to get sick all the time. My sister swears by it now.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 > I didn't know 's vitamins had stimulants in them. The ones he sold for a couple of years and included with the FoodMovers (Blast and Go and Lifecharge before it) had ginseng and I think the Blast and Go also had caffeine. These new ones that he's now endorsing on infomercials and was sent out with some of the Slimaway Everyday packages (*I* didn't get any, even though the promo said they were part of the package) I can't find any info on, but on his web site, this is what it says: Energy Builder 4 vitamins give you energy, essential vitamins, bone building minerals and cardio enhancing nutrients which makes me believe that *these* do, too. The Blast and Go: Blast & Go Vitamins: You get a 7 count trial of 's advanced, energizing supplement which was designed for people on the go. Blast & Go provides increased stamina, energy and endurance for your workouts and will keep you going through the day.

Introduced to the world by the Guarani Indians of South America, Mate contains ingredients that help keep its drinkers healthy and energetic. More than a drink, Yerba Mate has become a cultural phenomenon throughout South America. Its benefits are obvious. In Buenos Aires, where people carry their Mate with them throughout the day, the site of an obese person is rare. So it relieves stress, yet stimulates you? And I'm sure the laxative and diuretic effect really help in weight loss. And the sight of obese people is rare? That's because they're all in the bathroom!

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 Do you use Ester C? What about echinacea? The sites I looked at did not reccomenend anything hardly for kids under 4! Thanks. Bambi No I use Sodium Ascorbate from Vitaglo http://store./vitaglo/760.html. Others on this list have posed studies on how Calcium Ascorbate could be harmful and I know they have posted how much to take depending on body weight. I lost the info in my computer switch over but you could search the archives for this list or maybe someone else has it on hand. Most of the vitamin companies won't publish over the FDA regulations for vitamins for little ones. It doesn't mean that you can't exceed many of the doses esp. during an illness (things like vit. C, Vit. A. zinc etc.) Hopefully more people more knowlegdeable than me will respond. L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
