A & D 25000 IU & 1000 IU 250sg by Carlson Labs – Vision Support Vitamin A and D Soft Gels
A & D soft gels by Carlson Labs combine two fat-soluble vitamins in a 250-soft-gel bottle. This high-potency vitamin A and D supplement supplies 7,500 mcg RAE of vitamin A and 25 mcg (1,000 IU) of vitamin D per soft gel, with directions for three-times-weekly use rather than daily use.
The formula provides preformed vitamin A from fish liver oil and retinyl palmitate, alongside vitamin D from fish liver oil and cholecalciferol. It is a focused combination, not a multivitamin or calcium supplement. Its substantial vitamin A content makes the recommended schedule, total intake from other products and pregnancy restrictions especially important when deciding whether it fits your needs.
Key A & D 25000 IU & 1000 IU 250sg Benefits
- Supports normal vision by supplying vitamin A, which contributes to the light-sensitive pigments your eyes use to respond to light.
- Helps maintain skin health and epithelial tissues through vitamin A’s role in normal cell development and specialization.
- Supports normal immune function and provides vitamin D for calcium absorption, helping the body use dietary calcium for normal bone maintenance.
How A & D 25000 IU & 1000 IU 250sg Works
After absorption, vitamin A can be converted into forms with different jobs. Retinal participates in the eye’s response to light, while retinoic acid helps guide how cells develop and maintain specialized tissues. This explains why one nutrient contributes to both visual function and epithelial maintenance without making the supplement a remedy for eye or skin conditions.
Vitamin D3, also called cholecalciferol, is converted by the body into active vitamin D. That active form helps regulate intestinal calcium uptake and mineral balance. Both vitamins are fat-soluble; the mealtime directions fit how these nutrients are absorbed. More is not automatically better, particularly with stored, preformed vitamin A.
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- Vitamin A: Supports normal vision by supplying the precursor for retinal, a component of the eye’s light-sensing system. Its other active forms help regulate cell specialization, supporting epithelial surfaces and normal immune competence. Preformed vitamin A can accumulate, so the high potency calls for careful attention to intake.
- Vitamin D: Helps the intestine absorb calcium from food. After activation, it signals intestinal cells to adjust calcium transport, supporting the mineral availability needed for normal bone maintenance. This formula supplies vitamin D, but it does not supply the calcium that must come from foods or other appropriate sources.
A & D 25000 IU & 1000 IU 250sg Is Formulated For
- Adults whose healthcare practitioner has identified a reason for this specific high-potency vitamin A and D combination.
- Adults who can follow a three-times-weekly mealtime schedule and account for vitamin A in other supplements. Not for pregnancy or pregnancy planning; the formula contains fish and beef gelatin.

WARNING: The recommended daily serving of this product contains more than 10,000 IU of Vitamin A from retinol. Taking vitamin A from retinol in quantities of 10,000 IU or more is known to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Additional precautions: Review total vitamin A and D intake with your healthcare practitioner before use, especially while breastfeeding or if you have liver or kidney problems. Excess vitamin A can cause nausea, headache and liver problems; excess vitamin D can raise blood calcium. Retinoid medicines increase vitamin A toxicity risk. Thiazide diuretics can increase high-calcium risk with vitamin D, and steroids can lower vitamin D levels. Do not use with a fish allergy.
Frequently Asked Questions About A & D 25000 IU & 1000 IU 250sg
What are the benefits of A & D 25000 IU & 1000 IU 250sg?
This Carlson Labs combination supplies vitamin A for normal vision, epithelial tissue maintenance and immune competence, plus vitamin D for calcium absorption and bone maintenance. Each soft gel provides 7,500 mcg RAE of vitamin A and 25 mcg of vitamin D. These nutrients have different, complementary physiological jobs. The formula does not contain calcium, and its high vitamin A content means it is not an automatic choice for everyone seeking general nutritional support.
Who should take A & D 25000 IU & 1000 IU 250sg?
This product is intended for adults who need this particular vitamin A and D combination after reviewing their nutritional intake with a healthcare practitioner. The directions specify one soft gel three times weekly at mealtime, not every day. Do not take it if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. Because it contains fish liver oil, cod and a beef gelatin shell, it is not suitable for people with fish allergy or those seeking a vegetarian supplement.
Are there any side effects of taking A & D 25000 IU & 1000 IU 250sg?
Do not exceed recommended dosage. Do not take if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. WARNING: Reproductive Harm — www.P65Warnings.ca.gov. WARNING: The recommended daily serving of this product contains more than 10,000 IU of Vitamin A from retinol. Taking vitamin A from retinol in quantities of 10,000 IU or more is known to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. Excess vitamin A can cause nausea, headache and liver problems. Retinoids increase toxicity risk; thiazides with vitamin D can raise calcium. Contains fish (cod). Review medicines, breastfeeding and liver or kidney problems with your practitioner.
How does A & D 25000 IU & 1000 IU 250sg support overall health?
Vitamin A helps cells maintain their specialized roles, including cells involved in vision and the epithelial surfaces that line and cover the body. Vitamin D helps regulate how the intestine absorbs calcium, which contributes to normal bone mineralization. Together, these functions explain the formula’s nutritional purpose without making it a substitute for a varied diet. Its three-times-weekly schedule and pregnancy restrictions remain important; adding more vitamin A or D is not necessarily beneficial when intake is already adequate.
