Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Vitamin A toxicity and why does it matter?

+

Vitamin A toxicity (hypervitaminosis A) occurs when the body accumulates excess vitamin A, leading to a range of symptoms from dry skin and headaches to more serious liver damage. It matters because many people unknowingly consume high amounts through supplements, fortified foods, and "health" products, contributing to chronic health issues.

What causes vitamin A toxicity?

+

Common causes include excessive supplementation, high intake of liver and liver products, fortified foods, certain prescription medications (like isotretinoin), and topical retinoids. The body stores vitamin A in the liver, so chronic overconsumption leads to accumulation over time.

What are the symptoms of hypervitaminosis A?

+

Symptoms can include dry, itchy skin, hair loss, headaches, bone and joint pain, fatigue, vision problems, digestive issues, and in severe cases, liver damage. Many of these symptoms overlap with other conditions, making it often misdiagnosed.

How is vitamin A toxicity diagnosed?

+

We use a combination of hair mineral analysis, specific blood markers, symptom assessment, and dietary history review. Standard blood tests for vitamin A are often unreliable because they measure circulating levels, not stored amounts in the liver.

How can vitamin A toxicity be prevented?

+

Prevention involves being mindful of vitamin A intake from all sources—supplements, fortified foods, and diet. Avoiding high-dose vitamin A supplements and limiting liver consumption are key steps. Working with a practitioner who understands these nuances is essential for safe detoxification.

Why go on a nutritional restoration program?

+

If you are challenged with health issues and want release from your symptoms, a mineral restoration program can have a huge impact on your well-being. Minerals are crucial to the functioning of enzymes, hormones and other biochemical systems which sustain life.

What can cause a mineral imbalance?

+

Many factors can throw your body out of balance — diet, stress, medications, pollution, supplements, and inherited patterns. However, glyphosate and vitamin A have the greatest influence on mineral imbalances.

What is retracing?

+

During a nutritional restoration program, you provide the vitamins and minerals needed to balance your metabolic profile. As toxins are released from storage areas and mineral levels improve, you may experience temporary symptoms — often symptoms you've had before that seemed to go away or were suppressed by medications. This is a normal part of the healing process.

How can I work with The Nutrition Detective?

+

We offer different services for clients worldwide. When you become a client, you'll receive an individualized Nutritional Restoration Treatment plan based on your testing. You can book a consultation package or join our Love Your Liver membership for food lists, detox strategies, helpful tips, and community support.
