Re: Vitamin A Adverse Reactions?

[Guest guest]

Are you taking Vitamin E? I read something somewhere (sorry I can't

quote the source) that said that if you were taking CLO that it was

very important to also be taking a good Vitamin E source, either wheat

germ oil or vitamin E. I don't remember what this doctor said would

happen without the vitamin E, except that it would make matters worse

than not taking the CLO at all. I found it convincing at the time and

started taking wheat germ oil (since I do not have a gluten problem)

with my CLO. Seems to be better since then. Now I also take Vitamin

E, since it's on Andy's supplement list.

I don't know which 4 brands you've tried, but I've been happy with the

Green Pastures brand Blue Ice Pure CLO. However, I did have to build

up my dose very slowly.

Hi Vince, my suggestion would be try to get the Vitamin A through tablets or

capsules, not

the CLO, and see if that makes a difference.

My youngest kid would get mean on CLO. We were using Nordic Naturals liquid,

orange

flavored.

I don't know if she would have the same reaction today though. We're almost 70

rounds in.

Hi ,

When I started chelation, I was taking NOW A&D softgels (10K IU

Vitamin A) (2 per day), but after my adrenal problems got worse, I

symptoms of fatigue and brain fog. I tried NOW Vitamin A softgels (25K

IU) and had the same problem. I now take Twinlab A&D capsules (2 per

day) which is a dry formulation meant for sensitive people, and I have

had none of the previous problems.

I have the same problems with oil-based vitamin E (I tried 3 different

types). Jarrow's Dry E 400 works for me though. I take 2 per day.

It could be a soy sensitivity however I can take NOW Super EPA fish

oil which contains some soy with no problem. But NOW Lecithin Triple

Strength oil-based softgels definitely cause problems for me.

Hi Vince, in our case, it seems to have been the CLO which caused the negative

reaction in

my kid. We switched to tablets of Vitamin A without a problem.

I have read of other kids having a negative reaction to CLO on A-M, but I've

never understood

the reason why.
