Vitamin A & D 100sg by Carlson Labs – Vision and Bone Support Softgels
Vitamin A & D softgels by Carlson Labs combine two fat-soluble vitamins in a 100-softgel bottle. This formula pairs 3,000 mcg RAE (10,000 IU) of preformed vitamin A from fish liver oil and retinyl palmitate with 10 mcg (400 IU) of vitamin D3 from fish liver oil and cholecalciferol.
The combination offers targeted nutritional support rather than a broad multivitamin formula. Vitamin A contributes to normal sight and tissue maintenance, while vitamin D helps the body use dietary calcium. The vitamin A amount is substantial: one serving supplies the adult daily upper limit for preformed vitamin A before counting food or other supplements. Review your total intake with your healthcare practitioner before choosing this combination.
Key Vitamin A & D 100sg Benefits
- Provides vitamin A for vision support, including the normal light-sensing process that takes place in the retina.
- Supports skin health by supplying vitamin A needed for normal development and maintenance of epithelial cells.
- Contributes to normal immune function through vitamin A-dependent cellular communication and tissue maintenance.
- Supplies vitamin D for calcium absorption, helping maintain mineral availability for normal bone health.
How Vitamin A & D 100sg Works
These vitamins have different jobs after absorption. The body converts vitamin A into forms used for light detection and cellular communication. Those signals help cells develop their specialized roles, including cells in the skin and tissues lining body surfaces. Vitamin D undergoes activation in the body before helping regulate calcium movement from the intestine into circulation. It supports the use of calcium already present in the diet; this formula does not supply calcium itself. Because both vitamins are fat-soluble, excess intake can accumulate rather than simply being eliminated.
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- Vitamin A: Supports normal vision by supplying the building material for light-sensitive pigments in the retina. Its active forms also guide cell development and communication, helping maintain skin and other epithelial tissues. This formula supplies preformed vitamin A, not beta-carotene, so total intake deserves particular attention.
- Vitamin D: Helps regulate intestinal calcium absorption so dietary calcium is available for normal bone mineralization. After activation, vitamin D communicates with intestinal cells to support calcium transport. The D3 in this softgel complements calcium-containing foods without replacing those foods or supplying their minerals.
Vitamin A & D 100sg Is Formulated For
- Adults whose healthcare practitioner has identified a reason to use this specific vitamin A and D combination.
- Adults seeking preformed vitamin A with 400 IU of vitamin D3 who can use a fish-containing, beef-gelatin softgel.

Additional precautions: Avoid use with a fish allergy. Consult your practitioner before use while breastfeeding, with a medical condition, or when taking medicines. Retinoids can increase vitamin A toxicity risk; thiazide diuretics with vitamin D can raise blood calcium. Orlistat can reduce absorption, while steroids and statins can affect vitamin D status or metabolism. Review multivitamins and cod liver oil to avoid excess intake. Excess vitamin A can cause nausea, headache, dry skin, and liver problems; excessive vitamin D can raise blood calcium.
Frequently Asked Questions About Vitamin A & D 100sg
What are the benefits of Vitamin A & D 100sg?
Vitamin A & D 100sg supplies nutrients that contribute to normal vision, skin maintenance, immune function, and bone health. Vitamin A helps form the light-sensitive pigments used by the retina and supports the normal development of epithelial cells. Vitamin D helps regulate calcium absorption for normal bone mineralization. Each softgel provides 3,000 mcg RAE of vitamin A and 10 mcg of vitamin D. The vitamin A dose makes total dietary and supplemental intake an important part of deciding whether this formula fits your needs.
Who should take Vitamin A & D 100sg?
This combination is intended for adults who have reviewed their need for its specific amounts of vitamins A and D with a healthcare practitioner. It is not a prenatal product: do not take it if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. The softgel contains fish (cod) and beef gelatin, so it does not fit vegan diets or fish-allergy restrictions. Carlson directs adults to take one soft gel daily at mealtime. Review existing multivitamins and cod liver oil before adding it.
Are there any side effects of taking Vitamin A & D 100sg?
Do not take if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. WARNING: Taking vitamin A from retinol in quantities of 10,000 IU or more is known to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. WARNING: Reproductive Harm — www.P65Warnings.ca.gov. Contains fish (cod). Additional precautions: excess vitamin A can cause nausea, headache, dry skin, and liver problems; excessive vitamin D can raise blood calcium. Review retinoids, thiazide diuretics, orlistat, steroids, statins, and other supplements with your practitioner. Seek advice before use while breastfeeding or with a medical condition. Avoid use with a fish allergy.
How does Vitamin A & D 100sg support overall health?
The two vitamins contribute to different everyday processes. Vitamin A provides material for visual pigments and helps regulate how cells mature and communicate, supporting normal skin and epithelial tissues. Vitamin D helps the intestine absorb calcium, which the body needs to maintain mineralized bone. This softgel combines those nutritional roles, but does not provide calcium or replace a varied diet. Because it supplies a substantial amount of preformed vitamin A, matching the formula to your existing food and supplement intake matters more than simply adding another vitamin product.
