Vitamin A?

Has anyone heard that having over 2000 IU of Vitamin A is bad and can create birth defects?

I want to drink a pre-made protein shake but it has so much Vitamin A in it that I wasn't sure.

Hmmm????

    If you go to www.babycenter.com under pregnancy and look up vitamin A it gives you some guide lines. The only things is the internet could be worng and if you really worried about how much vitamin A you are intaking you should speak with your doctor he/she should be able to tell you what is safe and what is not.

    Oh when you go into pregnancy go to nutrition & weight on the left hand colum and then eating well and then it will bring up a list of different stuff and vitamin A is in there.

    You can check out www.mypyramid.gov  You can put in your height and weight and get what amounts of foods you need when pregnant.  

    Vitamin A can cause birth defects so be sure to run that drink by your doctor as well as consider other sources of vit A in your diet as well.
