COPPER:
im currently taking 20,000 iu of vit-a(75% beta-caroteen, 25% acetate) in a gnc multi-vitamin because i heard beta-caroteen can be good for people with problem skin (from acne) and people who have bad eyesight (mine is getting bad)..if i were to take more, like another 25,000iu on top of that, which would be 40,000iu + the 5,000iu from the acetate portion (so 45,000iu in total) ..do you think it would be ok? or do you think its better to stay away from the beta-caroteen suppletments and stick to just eating alot of carrots and things with b-c in it? because, a pharmacist did tell me one time that beta-caroteen collects in the body and too much can be toxic...i dunno what to think, just let me get your input..thanks!
