Could high vitamin A retinol in blood be a zinc deficiency? I’m not really of the camp that I’m toxic in A. I wasn’t supplementing. I was for sure eating a good amount of whole food vitamin A.
But with no other mineral or vitamin would you go above range from just eating adequate amounts. Something else has to be at play. Vitamin A is too important. I also have really high cholesterol. With low pregnenolone. Points to vitamin A deficiency to me.
I think vitamin A, iron, b12, copper, ceuroplasmin etc can rise under inflammation and infection.
Something is preventing me from using up the retinol. So yes that excess A can be intoxicating, but too much A isn’t the issue. It’s either a major zinc deficiency or a seriously struggling liver/bile issues. The retinal is recirculating and showing up as excess maybe.
The vitamin A toxicity/ people low vit diet I think feel better sometimes simply because they start eating more fiber and fix the liver. I wouldn’t attribute their success to low a diet.
Any thoughts on this. Not much info on this!
