Too much Vitamin A = HEADACHE.


Quote  |  Reply

So today I really went overboard with my vitamin A intake. I had no idea until I came on & logged everything.

Anyway, I have an INSANE headache right now [I get chronic migraines, so I'm pretty used to them, but this is intense] & I've researched & found out that too much Vitamin A can cause headaches.

Just wanted to warn everyone that this actually is a legit side effect & it's really painful.
Has anyone ever had a vitamin A headache/found a remedy that helped?

& also, since I really don't want to ingest any more, can anyone suggest any foods that have little or no Vitamin A?
