Vitamin A is an important element required for the healthy functioning of the body. One of the easiest ways to get the suggested dietary amount is through the use of vitamin A supplements. It is important to pay attention to the amount of vitamin A that is ingested, however, because large doses can actually be very harmful and even cause vitamin A poisoning. Most vitamin A supplements should be taken only after examining the amount of the vitamin in any other supplements being taken. Additionally, some topical skin treatments contain vitamin A as well and can be absorbed into the body quickly. Taking too much vitamin A can result in serious liver damage, although a vitamin A deficiency is equally as harmful over time.

Why does omeprazole reduce iron absorption?
Iron is more readily absorbed in an acidic environment (gastric juices) but since omeprazole can decrease the gastric acid produced, it is good to take vitamin C (ascorbic acid) when taking an iron supplement (both of which should be if advised by your physician) or one can simply take a vitamin C supplement if taking omeprazole when no iron supplement is needed (as would be in the case of iron deficiency anemia which is determined by a blood test).

In your case, calcium and vitamin D are required in your body together, and there are likely other factors that affect the absorption of your vitamin D supplement. Just because you are taking a supplement DOES NOT MEAN that all that vitamin D is being utilized by your body. The natural way of doing things usually seems to be the best way to take care of many things. Try to get at least 15 minutes of sun exposure per day, so that your body can make vitamin D on its own.
