Guest guest Posted April 30, 2002 Report Share Posted April 30, 2002 " In keeping with the RDA of vitamin a analogy, 5 mg/d is about what the body is expected to handle every day. so, there is no toxicity. " I,m sorry but i can't let you get away with that statement. I took 5mg daily and even less then that, 10mg every two or three days and around month 4 i started experiencing a good amount of hair thinning with NO prior hair thinning before taking the drug, plus a sexual side effect...Sounds toxic to me. Synthetic vit A becomes toxic ALOT faster then natural vit A. And even if you can get away with taking low dose for one year without any side effects its pretty much a waste of time, because once you stop taking it your skin will slowly revert back to its prior condition. Low dose only suppresses your skin condition. You have to take it chronically to keep your skin problem suppressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
