Why isn't there any vitamin A in these formula's?Updated 2 years ago

The industry regulator requires all products containing vitamin A to have the following warnings on the label:

WARNING: If you are pregnant - or considering becoming pregnant - do not take vitamin A supplements without consulting your doctor or pharmacist. When taken in excess of 3000 micrograms retinol equivalents - vitamin A can cause birth defects. The recommended daily amount of vitamin A from all sources is 700 micrograms retinol equivalents for women and 900 micrograms retinol equivalents for men.

NaturoBest likes to err on the side of caution. Also, a warning like this is this is likely to deter pregnant women from taking the product. Vitamin A is easily obtained from the diet but if she is vegan she may need to take a vitamin A supplement and should seek advice from a health practitioner.
