The amount of Vitamin A (retinyl) palmitate in Vita-Sprout® is 5000 IU per four capsules. The remaining 5,000 IU Vitamin A is derived from mixed natural carotenoids, which are non-toxic.
The Daily Value (DV) of Vitamin A palmitate for a normal adult is 5000 IU. Chronic toxicity of Vitamin A has been reported following ingestion of 50,000 IU daily for three months. In general, 5 times the recommended Daily Value of 5000 IU or 25,000 IU would be the upper limit of Vitamin A palmitate, with the following exceptions; (1) pregnant women should not take Vitamin A to exceed 8000 IU daily. More reasonable would be dosages of not more than 2500 IU of Vitamin A palmitate as there have been reported cases of birth defects at the higher dosages; and (2) for infants and patients with renal failure, as little a 4000 IU of Vitamin A palmitate can cause substantial liver damage.
