Should we be taking 50,000 IU of this palmitate per day since Dr. Peat recommends 5,000 IU of the micellized Nutrisorb per day, and micellized vitamin A is absorbed about 10 times better?

@haidut we got the dmso version, my hubby has solar keratosis so we wanted to try retinil. He has one spot on the shoulder and because it constantly gets irritated by the seat belt, it bleeds on and off. He has used Tocovit, Progest E , Simply Progesterone, CO but none has completely healed it. The Retinil stings a bit on topical application on me and actually makes this spot on his shoulder bleed immediatey. Should we try the oil version? will it stain through to his work shirts?
Thank you.
Yes...The study says that was most effective. After only 2 weeks I see some improvement on the smaller lesions. Am also continuing 2% iodine one all spots...have not been able to get 7% yet. Currently, situation improving slowly.should he increase the dosage to 500mg twice daily?
at least. or more. has worked for me. I take 1500 - 2000 mg a day. also, I had a place on the back of my hand that looked somewhat like a wart but was not and later it got knocked off. Then some crazy looking growth took it place. I peeled it off easily with no bleeding or pain. But after that it wouldn't heal. Months went by and it still did not heal. I then put one drop of MB on it for 4 days and it healed completely without a scar.should he increase the dosage to 500mg twice daily?
I got Retinil 5000 for my dad who is 74 and suffers from macular degeneration, I got him for deficiency, but through miscommunication, he put one drop in each eye! any concern there?!
The palmitate version with tocopherol/MCT as solvent is probably safer if it gets accidentally in the eye. The acetate/ethanol version would have been much more irritating. Peat said that small amounts of tocopherol/MCT are probably safe if they get into the eye but he does not recommend doing this intentionally and/or on a regular basis.

@haidut just received my retinil (acetate) in the mail, thanks a lot for your work. For my first dose I just put a few drops on my shoulder where I had some blemishes. It felt fine on my skin, but I quickly noticed a slight creakiness develop in my shoulder. Does this indicate some other deficiency, i.e. potassium? Should I avoid applying retinil near joints?
This actually stopped happening after a couple of doses, I'm not certain what the cause was. I take 5000 IU Vitamin D just about every day. For vitamin E I use Life Extension Gamma E, and I think I've seen you advise against a Gamma heavy Vitamin E source. Perhaps that was part of the cause.It may have to do with low vitamin D levels. Have you had yours checked recently? Vitamin A needs E and D to work properly.
Please, where did he advise against heavy gamma e?This actually stopped happening after a couple of doses, I'm not certain what the cause was. I take 5000 IU Vitamin D just about every day.

Regardless, I've actually switched to eating chicken liver for the bulk of my vitamin A. I've whipped the retinil out again on a couple of emergency breakouts for a subtle but positive effect.
Well his TocoVit is alpha heavy since it is from wheat germ oil. And in another thread he posted a study refuting the idea that alpha tocopherol depletes gamma tocopherol when taken alone. Alpha-tocopherol does NOT deplete gamma-tocopherolPlease, where did he advise against heavy gamma e?

I remember a theory on here, could have been from somebody else, that gamma E only became popular in America because that is the type of E that can extracted from soybean oil.
