Question...Re: Dana please advise

[Guest guest]

Hi Dana,

Correct, my son used to convert carotene to produce vitamin A pretty

efficiently, never had to supplement vitamin A.

But, my question is high vit A will check the absorption of vit D, right?

So, how can we correct the Vitamin D deficiency? Can we go thru skin? for

vitamin D supplementation.

Thanks,

Sasmita

carotene toxicity instead of vitamin A toxicity. But I have read three emails

about kids whose bodies over-converted the carotene and developed A toxicity.
