Is the vitamin A content in this safe ? I am asking because I dont know much about vitamins.
I have read a lot of vitamin A toxicity and hence I fear it.
Thank you.

There is always a balance and a synergy with vitamin ratios - especially those fat soluble vitamins. When you combine Vitamin A and D, Vitamin D decreases Vitamin A toxicity and tends to increase the need for Vitamin A. Cod liver oil and organ meats have both of these vitamins.
