We do not get vitamin A from sunlight Most cod liver oil today has had a large part of the

vitamin D removed Right ratio - p2 Adults need about 1000 IU vitamin D daily to avoid vitamin A toxicity At least 2,000 genes, or nearly 10 percent of your genes, have been identified t hat are directly influenced by vit D Inhibiting at least sixteen different types of cancer vit D brain detoxification of heavy metals Vit D deficiency linked to the childhood epidemics of autism, asthma, and diabet es I and II Correlations never show causation High vit A intakes antagonize the beneficial effects of vit D intakes when vit D intakes are very low vit A can only exert harm against the backdrop of vit D deficiency Typically modern CLO contains far less vit D than it used to, due to the deodori zation process used today which removes much of this essential nutrient Nordic Naturals - shit - p6 Vit A and D are both precursors to active hormones that regulate the expression of genes vit A is converted to retinol and then to active retinoic acid Vit D is converted to calcidiol and then to active calcitriol Directly consuming either retinoic acid or calcitriol would be unnatural In order for vit D to activate the expression of its target genes, it must bind to the vit D receptor (VDR) and then combine with the retinoid X receptor (RXR), which is activated by a particular form of vit A called 9-cis retinoic acid vit D can only effectively activate target genes when its partner receptor is ac tivated by vit A Vit D can only effectively target genes when its partner receptor is activated b y vit A A dose of 1000 IU vit D daily is adequate to avoid problems with vit A in adults . If the ratio of A to D in cod liver oil is 10 to 1, then it is easy to obtain a safe amount of vit A along with an adequate amount of vit D Vit A can be toxic when vit D is absent. Vit A does not antagonize vit D - both are needed for optimal assimilation. It would be amazing if vit A and D were ant agonistic since they are so often found in the same foods Too much vit D can result in calcification of the kidneys, arteries, joints and other soft tissues Cannell Myth that we can obtain adequate vit A from plant foods Plant foods are a very poor source of vit A for humans, especially for babies an d children, diabetics,and those suffering from thyroid and digestive disorders Even in the tropics, traditional peoples obtained high amounts of vit D from the ir food

The omega-3 fatty acids in krill oil are likely to be highly damaged from heat t reatment during industrial processing - danger from over-dosing on omega-3 fatty acids, which can depress the immune system and potentially lead to cancer Betacarotene supplements result in higher mortality The body cannot convert beta-carotenes into adequate levels of vit A RA - CLO can be used as NSAID-sparing agents Wound healing - CLO and zinc oxide Women using CLO had a significantly higher levels of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) in their breast milk - p16 Higher birth weight - p17 Norway - an amount of vit D equal to 54 times the recommended daily dose Higher on intelligence tests Otitis media
