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.

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!
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
Thank you for the life changing videos, Doctor Berg!
Oh wow! I'm so glad you found them helpful.
crucial video this is gold
Seriously. God bless this wonderful man!
Thank you!
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.
The only synthetic I use is TUDCA. I learned that from you. Thanks.
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.
Thank you for everything🌟
Happy Thanksgiving Day💫
No problem. Happy Thanksgiving!
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.
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.
He's my go to, I trust him and love the way he explains things no rambling
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.
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!
I like eggs, and grass-fed stuff. I also take cod liver oil, mostly because i don't like omega 3 foods
Hello Dr can you please make a video on diy vitamin c serum and toner please.
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
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 so much for this life changing information!
Again ...I REALLY needed this!
Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving.
Whoever reads this, I pray to the universe to cure all your diseases, and to remove all your pains from your daily life. 🙏
If the Universe is alive with a brain, and it can help us, then why doesn't it? Why does it let the world continue in pain and suffering? I don't think your prayers will do anything. How about prayers to God instead? At least God has spoken to us, and has answered every question we could possibly have.
❤🙏Thank you so much Doctor Berg.Great advice always.
😂 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!😁🤭
Thank you for your service!
Glad to help!
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!😁😁😁
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
Thank you Dr. Berg, for sharing all that you know and educating us about nutrition.
Very glad to be of help.
Thanks Dr Berg I find these videos so interesting
Same here. Love ❤️ his videos
Glad you enjoy them!
Amazing info 😊
Glad you like the info shared here. Thanks for watching!
Great video on vitamin a, thank you so much!
Thanks a lot. I'm really glad it helped you.
Thank you for sharing your video young man God bless 👍🙌🙏🙏🙏🙏🎆✨
Keep up with the information to us all
Surely!
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.
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.
Dr berg should do an interview with Jason Hommel who wrote the book the copper revolution healing with minerals
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?
Why is it ok to take synthetic vitamin D (cholecalciferol), but not ok to take synthetic vitamin A (palmitate). Thank you.
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💝
Thank you for mentioning these points. I always learn by watching your great videos.
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
Doc thanks for your work
What is your take on molasses is it good for the body

Thank you Dr Berg! Happy Black Friday! Thank you for the advice! Always!
What are your thoughts on Cod liver oil and malt, which has Vit D and Vit A in it?
Thank you Dr.BERG
Hey! You're welcome.
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.
this video helped alot!
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.
Thank you very much. This is really important information.
Thank you. That actually meant a lot.
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. 🙂 🙂
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.
TYSM Dr. Berg❣️ I’ll eat more kale etc. Ad I don’t eat many eggs. Thinking of going “Vegan” 🫶🏻🌎🫶🏻
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
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
Thanks again Dr Berg I’ve subscribed.
Thank you! Welcome to my channel!
@@Drberg Bless you, you've done a lot for my life and I'm spreading the word!
Just to check, are you saying it is still okay to consume vitamin a retinol supplement as I take cod liver oil supplement?
Thank you once again Dr Berg for your great educational video ❤
You're most welcome!
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.
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
Can topical retinol cause similar issues?
Thank you Dr. Berg for the information provided. The only one that provides real information, not funded by big pharma. I have a question and I would be very grateful if you could answer me. If it is possible to have vitamin a toxicity due to accutane, can I consume foods rich in vitamin a such as eggs, meat, liver, cod liver oil? or maybe creams or serums with retinoid will affect me and the toxicity will be more serious?
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.
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 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 will get my vitamin a from diet ONLY. Thank you Dr. Berg.
Most welcome!
Hello Dr Berg. I have begun taking supplements of yours that have this Vitamin A in them. whole food multivitamin and cod liver oil. Should I stop?!
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?
Hey dr Berg thank you for sharing your knowledge with us So helpful i feel much better following your advice 🙏
Thankyou Sir🙏
You're welcome. Thank you for always supporting me.
THANKS DR BERG!❤
Most welcome!
Thanks Doc
No worries!
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!
Great info😅
Thanks for your comment. Appreciate it!
Thanks for the help
Anytime
Thank you Dr. Berg ❤
No worries!
For those of you who are inventors out there with a background in vitamin chemistry, could you please see if there is a way to develop a safer and more sophisticated version of Vitamin A? Surely, there is a way.
@Helenegardener To solve most Vitamin A deficiency related problems quite rapidly. Also, to have an alternative to the currently available forms of Vitamin A.
So, just to confirm, is retinyl palmitate a bad form of Vitamin A?
😮 hemangioma on my liver affects me when I eat anything. Does this also inhibit A and other vitamin absorbtion?
Can you make a video on topical retinoids?
I'm watching this, just after I just cooked and ate liver for the first time a few hours ago. I avoided liver so long because of the fear of vitamin A toxicity. But after months of research, I found out it is safe to consume (I hope). If you just do it in very minimal amounts of just an ounce.
I mean I've heard of the people who eat liver everyday and the people who eat a full pack of liver. I'm only looking to probably eat an ounce like 2-3 times a week and keep the rest in the freezer.
But due to my damaged gut from sibo and autoimmune disorders. I know I'm lacking so much in vital nutrients and minerals. And all those symptoms I've been suffering with for a while, like the night vision, skin issues, peeling skin and more. Especially how my old diet was for many years prior, where I mainly ate garbage all day. Where I barely got any neccasary nutrients in my daily before.
Onions with liver makes it taste better.
What's the taste like? Did you cook it up with other things?
Very easy to cook, just add onion, garlic, &a piece of ginger, tomato green or red chilli and salt to taste, don’t add water, cook for 15 minutes on low flame, then add little oil, and it’s ready to eat,
Just stay away from polar Bear liver and you should be fine.
@@SS-io7oz Soinds good.👍
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.
I would be very interested to see if you could make more in-depth videos about the spleen. It seems to be something that is widely ignored in western medicine, because in Chinese medicine, it is one of the most important organs in the body.
Spleen is important.
Since I started watching his videos, I forgot about spleen lol. I agree 100%
@Helenegardener I haven't seen it. Thanks I will look at it.
Who doesn't!
I love Dr. Berg!
Thanks for following!
How do we know if we're taking out of the limit?
Thankful dr Berg. Fantastic topic
Glad you enjoyed it!
And how do we heal/fix the accutane issue after the fact?
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.
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?
Wish i never took Accutane… this caused my Crohn’s 😭😭
try HBOT therapy.

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.
