Animal pak with muscle milk, too much vitamin A?
I am currently on Animal Pak and Animal Flex stacked with Nitro Core 24. I am thinking about switching over to Muscle Milk in the near future. I noticed that Muscle Milk has some vitamins in it including vitamin A, about 35 percent i beleive. Would I be risking overdosing on vitamins if I did 2 muscle milk shakes a day with animal pak and animal flex together, especially with vitamin A? I take one pak a day, so that means I currently take in 99% or 4450IU in Vit A everyday. I heard too much Vitamins, especially Vitamin A, can be toxic. Is that true? Sorry for the stupid question, I just want to know If I heard correctly.

"The common rationale of using vitamin A is for treating vitamin A deficiency and prophylactic administration during infancy, pregnancy and lactation, generally, the recommended daily allowances are between 1,500IU and 4,500IU for infants and children up to 12 years of age and a maximum of 8,000IU in pregnant and lactating mothers. Normal adults would require approximately 5,000IU daily. "
"Since vitamin A is stored in the liver, chronic ingestion of megadoses may result in hepatic toxicities. The range of vitamin A doses leading to liver damage vary from 15,000IU per day to 1.4 million IU per day, with an average daily toxic dose of 120,000IU per day.
In patients with renal failure, as little as 4,000IU per day has been known to cause substantial liver damage. Long-term alcohol consumption also enhances liver toxic reactions of vitamin A. "
Are you taking 1 Animal Pak a day or 2, because isn't the info on the can for 2paks/day? Even though most ppl stick with just one?

Generally, signs of toxicity are associated with long-term consumption of vitamin A in excess of ten times the RDA (8,000 to 10,000 mcg/day or 25,000 to 33,000 IU/day).

I try to take in as little pre-formed vitamin A as possible.
Stick to pro-vitamin A products. Carotenoids ftw!
