SOLARAY Dry Form Vitamin A - Vitamin A as 60% Beta Carotene and 40% Retinyl Palmitate with Carrot Powder - Eyes, Antioxidant Activity, and Immune System Support - 60 Servings, 60 VegCaps

Great buy, easy to take the pill is not big and there is no after taste. My skin is looking better. So I believe this product is effective.

Vitamin content: Good!

A lot of Vitamin A products are still formulated with soybean oil, which is really stupid, as soy is a common allergen and has no business being in supplements. I started taking a Vitamin A product 30 years ago to protect my eyes. Since I found I was sensitive to all legumes, not just soy or peanuts, I've come to rely on Solaray exclusively. Here's the odd part: over the years I've noticed that Vitamin A quells a sugar rush. Not complex carbs as in starches, but simple carbs -- sugars. That, and another odd thing. As I aged into my 50's and 60's, it has a preventive effect on incontinence. I figure it keeps me young.

I have a version of short bowel aka intestine and stomach loss. It comes with malnutrition and since I'm allergic to tpn I try very hard to keep myself nutritionally afloat with supplements. Seven years in I'm still here so I guess I'm doing it right. (THANKS VITALADY!) Always I couldn't find my standard dry vitamin a - which is necessary with small intestine loss or bypass because it's fat soluble and the small bowel that you're missing is responsible for fats. Anyways these are double or triple the size of biotech and these taste like sawdust or cardboard i can't tell which but I literally gag every time. However my labs are stable and I'm not having night blindness issues. So while these work and are dry they taste pretty bad even in the split second it takes to swallow them and they are fairly large in comparison to a competitor. Personally I will not be ordering these again unless I'm unable to find other dry A brands. I'll finish this bottle but the taste and size are just too much especially with dysphagia.

great product at a great price

I like this company I've always had good results with them and I will continue buying this brand

I try to be very observant of what I put in my body especially concerning supplements and medications. This dry Vitamin A formula seemed like the best route for me to go since as I had read that dry Vit A is good for people who have problems digesting Vit A in oil gels, however, when the powder inside of capsules are two different colors, I don't know if it was rancid or what but I decided my body was best off not experiencing that adventure. Another curious observation was that I always burp the taste up even eating food before taking the vitamin.
