Let’s talk about vitamin A-the benefits of vitamin A and the dark side.
Vitamin A is a non-keratinizing vitamin. Keratinization is a condition that causes skin issues.
Both a vitamin A deficiency and excess vitamin A can affect the internal and external skin in many ways.
Vitamin A is involved in supporting the immune system as well. There is an association between vitamin A deficiency and autoimmune conditions like Graves’ and Hashimoto’s. Vitamin A also allows iodine to be absorbed.
Signs of vitamin A deficiency:
• Poor night vision
• Blindness
• Dry eyes
• Poor immunity
• Skin problems
• Bone issues
Signs of too much vitamin A:
• Abnormal bone formation
• Dry lips
• Dry skin
• Double vision
• Alopecia
• Oily skin
• Peeling skin
• Heart valve calcification
• Hypercalcemia
• Intracranial pressure
Vitamin A toxicity is rare, but taking a synthetic vitamin A supplement may increase your risk. Synthetic vitamin A may also increase the risk of lung cancer. Accutane, a form of synthetic vitamin A, has serious potential side effects.
I suggest getting your vitamin A from food sources or natural food-based supplements.
Foods high in vitamin A (retinol):
• Cod liver oil
• Egg yolks
• Grass-fed butter
• Grass-fed cheese
• Liver
Beta carotene is the precursor to the active form of vitamin A (retinol). Beta carotene is in foods like carrots and spinach.
But, If you’re relying on beta carotene alone to get your vitamin A or if you have a liver or gallbladder issue, you could be deficient in vitamin A.

Thanks for watching! I hope this helps you better understand vitamin A. I’ll see you in the next video.
Who else loves Dr.Berg?
Stop with the fake polling, watch the video learn something.
@@JSFGuyThis is just to show Dr. Berg he's appreciated from time to time nothing more , so please stay off my comments .
@@JSFGuythe video out 10 minutes ago, he commented 8 mins ago. He only watched for 2 min..
You are doing well. Love Dr Bergs videos.
I am the number 1 fan hahaha
A lot of people love Dr. Berg, he has educated all of us. Anybody banning him is just plain jealous. Thank you Dr Berg.
It's not jealousy, it's a deliberate agenda 😢
Jealous lmao actually you might be right I’d be jealous too if someone stole my research and work and presented it as if they did the work!
@@UnderwaterShadow “stolen …. Use as his?” How could it be stolen when for public use and he never gave credit to himself the one doing the research, and everyone knows that? He use his time and effort to translate those medical term in simple language so that we could understand and make good decisions for our health. Everything that you’ve learned since you were a child, from school from books and such must be stolen too right. The information he presented help and educate many simple people, including myself.
@UnderwaterShadow this person is a bit wonky people.
@@AwesomeK285 🤔👍❤
I had extremely oily skin and took accutane as a teenager. As if my hormones weren’t already raging, the accutane made me depressed and borderline suicidal. It was a total mind…f. To put it starkly. Combine that with recreational drug use, binge drinking, and anabolic steroids, and it is a wonder that I am a free man. Thank you doctor Berg for being a TRUE doctor and a disseminator of TRUTH in this corrupt world!
@@AnitinS i’m doing great 👍
take zinc since vit a needs zinc to get out of your system.I had vit a toxicty and it did me wondders
Accutane gave me herniated discs in my spine. It stiffened me up so bad I couldn’t walk, and almost a year later am still having neuropathy. My doctors gaslit me, even after I stopped, took steroids, got better and then took it again to see if I was the crazy one. It’s wild how that drug reacts in the body.
@@emirhanbl2330which form of zinc did you take?
@@AntonioLiberato08 zinc picolinate best form
Hey Dr Berg, I thank you for making any medical topic very easy and simple to understand, this is your super power.
Glad that my videos helped you. Thank you as well for your support!
Berry Berry interesting Doc.
But Don't stop now keepemcoming
crucial video this is gold
I was recently diagnosed with an excess of vitamin A and vitamin E. So it basically means that I should discontinued vitamin A and E supplements.
Keep up with the information to us all
Surely!
Thank you for everything🌟
Happy Thanksgiving Day💫
No problem. Happy Thanksgiving!
Seriously. God bless this wonderful man!
Thank you!
Thank you for the life changing videos, Doctor Berg!
Oh wow! I'm so glad you found them helpful.
The only synthetic I use is TUDCA. I learned that from you. Thanks.
Good morning, Doc. Happy Brown Friday everyone. 🦃🚽💩🧻😊
Thank you so much. I have dry skin forever, bo one finds out to see what is the cause.
Yeah..I think I got Vitamin A deficiency...I gotta try and get more vitamin A..thanks for the info Eric
Thank you Dr. Berg👑🏆
Definitely!
This is such good information I didn't know supps could be an issue for vit a. We should try to avoid all synthetics.
Glad you like the information shared here. Take care.
There have been more studies, some showing far worse 12:1 and even 21:1 conversion of beta-carotene to vitamin A. The conversion also varies drastically based on genetics (certain European genes heavily reduce it). Essentially, a decent portion of the population is incapable of ever converting enough. Without consumption of animal products, many will be deficient.
Also, my own personal anecdote I eat primarily beef and eggs with butter, and I recently added cod liver to my diet for the omega-3(didn't trust rancid capsules). I didn't even realize it had SOO much vitamin A. Anyways, I noticed a week or so later that my morning and nighttime vision was significantly better. I guess dozens of eggs a week were still not enough for my needs. I'm curious why my diet wasn't enough.
💯! Lots of people can’t make the conversion. I wish he would address this more. 🙏🙏
Thank you for sharing. My eyesight is quite weak, especially my night vision.
I eat lots of beef, pasture raised eggs, good butter, fry in tallow.
I eat liver once a week.
Very healthy.
Maybe I should go back to taking 1/2 teaspoon of cod liver oil daily.
I have been cutting up a small piece of banana each day and applying it to my skin for the last two weeks. The dark spots under my eyes are now about 50% lighter and the age spots are also about 50% lighter. I assume that the vitamin A in the banana is what is helping...
Not true, until Dr Berg says it's true. 🙂 🙂
😂 Sipping my Healthy Keto Coffee quietly! I'm trying not to wake up the sugar-addicted hellraisers around me.. No Holiday Blues here!! ❤ Happy Friday, everyone!
😂😊 I'm with you!😁🤭
I like eggs, and grass-fed stuff. I also take cod liver oil, mostly because i don't like omega 3 foods
Wish i never took Accutane… this caused my Crohn’s 😭😭
Thank you for your service!
Glad to help!
Thanks Dr Berg I find these videos so interesting
Same here. Love ❤️ his videos
Glad you enjoy them!
Hello Dr can you please make a video on diy vitamin c serum and toner please.
Amazing info 😊
Glad you like the info shared here. Thanks for watching!
Whoever reads this, I pray to the universe to cure all your diseases, and to remove all your pains from your daily life. 🙏
He's my go to, I trust him and love the way he explains things no rambling
I have learned so much in details. Thank you Dr. Berg. Stay with us.
Glad to hear that. Thanks for watching the video. Take care.
I truly dont think you realize how much lives you are saving, this is awesome. I thank you for taking your time to learn these things and then helping the people. 😊
Really appreciate your message, thanks for your support, means a lot!
Doc! Would you be so kind to go over the actual benefits of L-lysine?
agreed. i read a study claiming it can help prevent liver fat accumulation
Apparently a problem with Vitamin A supplements is that even something like Cod Liver Oil supplements can have synthetic Vitamin A added to it. Makes it hard to find a good quality and healthy option.
@Helenegardener you have to take stupid ammounts for a long time for toxic effects. worry about vit a depleting your copper and causing aneamia instead.
thank you dr.
Sure!
Thank you for sharing your video young man God bless 👍🙌🙏🙏🙏🙏🎆✨
Hi dr eric berg is have got acidic reflux problem and mostly because of tht mucus and irritation in throat and i watched your video but i dont want to reduce on eating grains because i want to gain some weight also. Could u please suggest what to do. Have a great day
I had bad acne as a kid. I was on Accutane twice and it wrecked the oil glands in my eyes, giving me dry eyes. Seriously dont understand why Accutane is still on the market.
Sorry to hear what happened. Wishing you good health.
Actually I was on it a long time ago and my eyes are always dry! 🤔
Yeah me too
this video helped alot!
Thank you Dr. Berg, for sharing all that you know and educating us about nutrition.
Very glad to be of help.
That’s why I personally take the natural food source supplement form of it from Standard Process called Cataplexy A. I take kelp for iodine and Cataplex A which helped stopped thyroid pain and sluggishness for me. Love Dr. Berg videos.
This Cataplex A contains Beta-carotene. Didn’t Dr Berg just say it’s was a bad thing to consume?
@@olgaj9267 No, watch the video again. You don't need to worry about overdosing on natural Beta-carotene compared to the synthetic Vitamin A supplement version.
I’m curious about the topical version now. Retin A. Is it bad to use??? My dermatologist says I can use it daily at night. Is the absorption going to affect me long term?
Thank you 🙏
Most welcome!
Doc thanks for your work
What is your take on molasses is it good for the body
Hello. Please see here: www.youtube.com/@DrEricBergDC/search?query=molasses
Just to check, are you saying it is still okay to consume vitamin a retinol supplement as I take cod liver oil supplement?
Dr berg should do an interview with Jason Hommel who wrote the book the copper revolution healing with minerals
Thank you so much for this life changing information!
Again ...I REALLY needed this!
Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving.
Thanks Doc
No worries!
Vitamin A and dry eye itch. What a fine line between too much vitamin A or too little vitamin A-in my case. Wish I could be for sure which.
What are your thoughts on Cod liver oil and malt, which has Vit D and Vit A in it?
Thankyou Sir🙏
You're welcome. Thank you for always supporting me.
Many thanks, since I started following you over a year ago I have incorporated a lot of the foods you just mentioned and I’m doing so much better!😁😁😁
Thanks for the help
Anytime
Dr berg please help I took accutane and I’m trying to find a way to take away the side effects and I’m assuming there has to be a way to detox all the excess vitamin A
Hi Dr Berg, is there a way to know what type of Vitamin A is in Cod Liver Oil? I keep seeing a combination of Retinyl Palmitate and Cod Liver Oil.
Dr berg we are thankful to you for all your information plz advise on chalazion and how to avoid it
Hello. Thank you for the video suggestion.
@@Drberg j
Can you make a video on topical retinoids?
❤🙏Thank you so much Doctor Berg.Great advice always.
Hi doc, big fan, would like to ask if vegetable juice (juicing using a juicer at home) is ok to drink when fasting?
It would be depend on what vegetables that you juice. If just greens I think it would be alright since they are very little in calories, but beet and carrots or something alike would be a no I believe since they are high in sugar when juice.
Vitamin A toxicity => calcium deficiency; if you don't absorb enough calcium and magnesium your bone will be (over)used.
Not synthetic but artifical form is problematic I mean retinil-acetate it is a liver poision because of water solubality liver can't store too much because it will precipitates out.
Intracranial pressure => calcium deficiency problem you can find as side effect of calcium channel blockers medicine (Japanese study).
Polar bear story was cadmium poisoning in fact (liver of polar bear accumulates cadmium; water contains cadmium on that land)
For every 30000 IU retinol you will need 1200mg calcium, 600mg magnesium (you won't beleive but dolomite is the best; or corall calcium is even more better) and min 3000 IU vitamin D
book: The Calcium Factor (Bob Barefoot)
What about retinyl palmitate? I take weekly dosages of 25000 iu
@@codniggh1139 retinyl-palmitate is ok, it is a natural form.
But take care about zinc because both vitamin D and A increase zinc requirements; and they can delplete it
@@bjoshua1980 I take 25,000 iu in a single dose per week. I think that I will need zinc but in natural forms.
@@codniggh1139 I use zinc-gluconate form, it is working for me. Zinc-glycinate is said to be another good form or zinc-citrate is the third.
Or you can eat oyster it is the best natural food source.
Can topical retinol cause similar issues?
Great info😅
Thanks for your comment. Appreciate it!
I took Accutane back in 2003 in high doses without the supervision of a doctor for six months aka. Black market. I remember that I bleed out of my nose everyday and permanently lost my sense of most of my smell. I developed as well a permanent bloat. No mater what i eat i will alwayshave have bloating and indigestion. I've been depressed for all those years as well. No one told me as a kid that sugar and dairy can cause acne. It was a simple fix.
I love Dr. Berg!
Thanks for following!
Eric Berg, i wish you had your own carb counter keto tracking app. I have a carb counting app because I am new to this. I don't even know how many servings is in a cup and a half of scrambled eggs and sausage. Also it's counting my healthy carbs against me on the app. ( Broccoli) do we have to count the healthy carbs on your healthy keto diet?
Sorry doc. Love the content here, but I signed up for your newsletter and all I got was bombarded with ads.
How do I repair accutane damage
i am on bone broth now, its rich in glycine and glutamine but lacks cystein. i wonder if i add whey protein to it, which is also rich in cystein, i would get perfect protein?
i also take synethetic retinol now. because i am taking vitamin D for long and it stopped working as antiinflammatory which it did before. it must be something i am missing.
Hey dr Berg! I used Tretinoin (a retinoid like accutane but in cream form) for a few years in the highest strength and I’ve reason to believe it caused my dry eye. I’ve been off it for about 8 months but eyes still dry as ever. I’ve switched to a beef tallow + sweet almond oil mostirzer as it has natural vitamin A along with vitamin E and K. Would the vitamin A here still effect my eyes since it’s directly on the skin especially if I use it under the eyes? And is there anything I can do about the dry eye?
*Love from India* ❤
Great video on vitamin a, thank you so much!
Thanks a lot. I'm really glad it helped you.
I will get my vitamin a from diet ONLY. Thank you Dr. Berg.
Most welcome!
Dr. Berg, what about prenatal vitamins that contain vitamin A? And does synthetic vitamin E in supplements would aid preventing vitamin A toxicity? I realized I very rarely, if ever, eat those foods you mentioned as best source of vit A except eggs and that, also quite rarely
There is freeze dried form of real organ meat, such as beef liver, in capsule that can be taken as supplements. They are very effective as reported by many.
Dr. Berg… Happy Thanksgiving. It is my best one in a few years because of working so diligently to get my health back under control because of your teaching. I had a thought ..I wonder what Dr. Berg’s Thanksgiving table looks like. You should do a video to show a typical Thanksgiving or Christmas feast in the Berg household. Just a thought…..or maybe that’s too stalker-ish🤔😃
All the best to you and if I remember correctly from a previous video you have a precious grandchild now so I hope the holidays are especially joyous for you all💝
Do you have a video or information on thyroid nodule cysts?

TYSM Dr. Berg❣️ I’ll eat more kale etc. Ad I don’t eat many eggs. Thinking of going “Vegan” 🫶🏻🌎🫶🏻
You are the best I appreciate you
Thanks for your support!
😮 hemangioma on my liver affects me when I eat anything. Does this also inhibit A and other vitamin absorbtion?
Thank you Dr Berg! Happy Black Friday! Thank you for the advice! Always!
Thank you Dr. Berg for many new information about the foods and supplements that we consume. Please continue to enlighten and help us.
No problem. Glad to make videos that can help you all.
Who doesn't!
Thanks thanks thanks❤

Hi dr. Berg, why does accutane cause knee pain? Is it a form of inflammation and will it do long term damage on my knees?
Hey you might want to supplement vitamin e to reduce the toxicity
Is Retinol Acetate softgels Natural Vitamin A? And can i take 20,000iu i.e. 2 softgels per day?
Hello Dr Berg and staff, would Vitamin A all trans retinyl palmitate be a good option? its in a mix of suppliments I take... A-C-E-S+Zn. thanks for a reply.
No
They are all natural.
@Helenegardener
Thank you Dr.BERG
Hey! You're welcome.
I overdid it on vitamin A once from too much cod liver oil and a multivitamin that had retinol palmitate. I now always avoid the synthetic vitamin A like retinol acetate or retinol palmitate.
How do we know if we're taking out of the limit?
And how do we heal/fix the accutane issue after the fact?
So, just to confirm, is retinyl palmitate a bad form of Vitamin A?
Dr. John Campbell just did a video about correlation between Vitamin A deficiency and the new data on pneumonia related outbreak in China… wonder what dietary causes might be associated 🤔
Can taking a tablespoon cod liver oil daily, in addition to eating all the other good sources of vitamin A you mentionned, provide too much vitamin A,?
Is retinyl palmitate a synthetic vitamin A?? I saw that ingredient in a cod liver oil but not sure If it's added or it's a natural component of it
same question
Yes - check out this video for more information:
ua-cam.com/video/QHfUDDn_hAw/v-deo.html
that video still doesnt answer the question. On the vit a it says retinyl palmitate and cod liver oil@@Drberg
What about those supplements targeted to the blind and elder,? Are they dangerous? My ophthalmologist recommended me to take A-reds but they were really harsh on my stomach.
Could you OD on liver and eggs?
Thank you ❤❤❤
You're very welcome!
Hi Doctor Berg, could you make a video in favor of the alleged toxicity of vitamin A? Lately, a diet low in animal and vegetal retinol seems very popular to restore not only metabolic health. Thank you for what he does every day.
Hello. Thanks for the video suggestion. Have a nice day!
Thank you for mentioning these points. I always learn by watching your great videos.
Can you explain what magnesium stearate is and if it's toxic
Check out this video:

Blakeslea trispora is it synthetic?
My vitamin a is retinol palmitate. The doc only mentioned acetate...
I always take vitamin since i have got hypertension.
