There many things still being found out about vitamins, especially vitamin a or retinol which can be found in many foods like milk, butter, cheese, and fish oils. Symptoms of vitamin A deficiency include night blindness, and dry eyes, as well as your skin failing to shed superficial layers. However, there are many problems in getting too much retinol. Some people get more irritable, retinol overdose may cause osteoporosis over time as well as increased risk of cancer. It is best to just get vitamin A through food and to avoid vitamin A supplements.
