Vitamin A and Birth Defect
Vitamin A is one of the most essential and vital natural substance that cures quite several ailments. Vitamin A is usually prescribed by the doctors, particularly to the pregnant women owing to its vast benefits. But the thought of vitamin A and birth defects is not a much prevalent fact among women, as this has been scientifically proved only during the later 20th century. Large consumption of vitamin A during the earlier stage of pregnancy enhances the risk of solemn birth defects.
Further, vitamin A and birth defect might occur even at the earlier stages, when the woman herself had not confirmed the pregnancy. As vitamin A is commonly found in fat tissues, if the women intake excess vitamin A, before conception, it causes birth defects. Usually the multivitamin formulae include 10,000 IU of vitamin, which works against the babies. The current recommendation is 2,700 IU per day.
The relationship that exists among vitamin A and birth defects is being talk among research people and the in the earlier studies the intake associated was larger, rather the levels suggested by the latest ones. Further, the FDA recommends women, especially at the time pregnancy pace of life, all about the consumption of food, including food supplements.
Vitamin A is rich in dairy products, liver, and fortified foods like cereals, food supplements (watch for retinyle palmitate, retinyl acetate in the ingredients). To avoid vitamin A and birth deficiency, women should ensure to take only the limited IU of vitamin A per day.
The vitamin A supplements consumed by the pregnant women are usually available in the synthetic forms or they are isolated from the natural food products. Researchers opine that there is much relation to this artificial vitamin A and birth defect. Vitamins consumed through whole foods.
A study conducted in 1995 shows that vitamin A and birth defect is 240% higher among the women who consumed 10,000 IU each day, especially synthetic form of vitamin A. Moreover, it increased to 400% when the intake is 20,000 IU each day.

And some feel that vitamin A should be supplemented to the women who have vitamin A deficiency and not others. Hence the exact amount should be taken under doctor’s recommendation. Even overdose will result in bad and serious consequences.
