Too much Vit A bad for bones
London:11.10.2018
Consuming too much vitamin A may decrease bone thickness, leading to weak and fracture prone bones, according to a study conducted in mice.
The study, published in the ‘Journal of Endocrinology’, found that sustained intake of vitamin A, at levels equivalent to 4.5-13 times the human recommended daily allowance (RDA), caused significant weakening of bones. It suggests that people should be cautious of over-supplementing vitamin A, said researchers at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden.
Some evidence has suggested that people who take vitamin A supplements may be increasing their risk of bone damage, researchers said. PTI
