Vitamin A
The second supplement to be wary of is Vitamin A, which is more normally known as retinol. Vitamin A helps your immune system work properly, helps your vision in dim light and maintains your skin and the lining of some other parts of the body, such as the nose, healthy.
The NHS outlines that the total vitamin A content of a food is usually expressed as micrograms (µg) of retinol equivalents (RE). And the amount of vitamin A adults aged 19 to 64 need is700 µg a day for men and 600 µg a day for women.
Dr Bing said: “Vitamin A is fat soluble, which means that it stores in your liver and it can accumulate over time.
“Too much of this can lead to a condition called pseudotumor cerebri, which is increased pressure in the brain that mimics a brain tumour, causing headaches, blurred vision and even permanent vision loss.”
