Symptoms of Vitamin A deficiency can include:
Reduced vision, especially in low light (night blindness).
Dry, brittle skin, which may lead to irritation and rashes.
Dry eyes and an increased risk of eye infections.
Weakened immune system, making it easier to get sick.
Slower wound healing and slower recovery from injuries.
Hair loss and thinning hair.
Warning!
To ensure correct vitamin A dosage, the Swedish National Food Agency (Livsmedelsverket) recommends that adult women consume 700 micrograms per day, and adult men 900 micrograms per day. Do not exceed 3 milligrams per day from supplements, as too much can be harmful. Keep in mind that recommendations may vary depending on individual needs, health, and lifestyle. If you are unsure about your dosage or have health concerns, always consult with a doctor or a licensed dietitian for personalized advice.
