Overdose Vitamin A

[ExtraMile]

just got some new fish oil, every capsule has 100% RDA vitamins A + B added to it. The capsule is either 1000mg fish oil or 1500mg, I cant remember.

This means if I want more than 1000-1500mg of fish oil Ill be overdosing on vitamin A which I know it dangerous.

With my previous brand of fish oil that had no added vitamins I was having 6g a day spread over 2g doses at breakfast, late afternoon meal and pre sleep meal.

What should I do? (dont say just get a new type of capsules)

You'll be fine bro. OD'ing on vitamins means you have to take way more than just a bit over the reccomended dose.

Take 1 with every meal, so 4-6.

I take 8 a day and mine also has vitamin A in it. Haven't had an issue.

Yea.. As far as I know the RDA is pretty useless.
I take 3g/day of Vitamin C.. was taking 6g/day but got tired of buying so much, lol.
the RDA is something dumb like 100mg, which is you research, You don't really get any of the benefits unless dosing above 1g.

Certain vitamins and minerals you need to be careful with though. I cant remember which ones, but I know one causes nose bleeds if you take too much.
