Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Hypervitaminosis A is a disorder in which there is too much vitamin A in the body. Like most vitamins, vitamin A may be obtained in the recommended amount with a well-balanced diet, including some enriched or fortified foods.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hypervitaminosis A occurs due to prolonged ingestion of too much of preformed vitamin A from foods (fish oil, animal liver and kidney, and plant sources like carrots). The amount of vitamin A in supplements per capsule is typically 10, 000-50, 000 international units (IU).
Detailed explanation-3: -Hypervitaminoses are primarily caused by fat-soluble vitamins (D and A), as these are stored by the body for longer than the water-soluble vitamins.
